The name of the suspect killed after a shootout with police in New Bedford has been released. He has been identified as 39-year-old Derek Rego. 

Police say on Wednesday night a detective attempted a traffic stop of a Jeep driven by Rego. That's when police say Rego allegedly drove off. He then drove to his residence on Blackmer Street and barricaded himself inside.

Police say Rego allegedly fired multiple rounds at officers while inside of his home. Police returned fire.

Rego was later found dead inside of a stairwell of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to police.
