A man was found dead Wednesday night after he killed his wife and wounded another relative in a shooting in south suburban Monee.

Damien A. Lee, 40, shot two female family members about 8:10 p.m. in the 4900 block of Main Street in Monee, according to a statement from Monee police. He drove away before police arrived.

Lee’s wife, 36-year-old Tiffany Lee, was pronounced dead at 9:12 p.m. at St. James Health in Olympia Fields, authorities said. The other victim was in serious condition.

At 9:40 p.m., authorities were called about a possible sighting of the suspect’s vehicle near Will-Center and Dralle roads, police said.
