A man riding a motorcycle was shot and killed in Windham on Friday afternoon and police later found the suspected gunman dead of an apparent suicide, authorities said late Saturday.

Police identified the victim as Erin Hayne, 33, of Casco, who was shot multiple times around 1:55 p.m. at the intersection of Route 302, also known as Roosevelt Trail, and Landing Road, according to the news release from Lt. Aaron M. Turcotte of the Maine State Police. Witnesses, along with a game warden who happened to be in the area, attempted life-saving measures on Hayne, who was later pronounced dead at the scene by medical personnel with the Windham Fire Department.

Investigators said the shooter, later identified as James Ford, 48, of Windham, pulled up in a silver sedan and fired several rounds at Hayne before fleeing. A U-Haul driver briefly followed the car and gave police a license plate number before losing sight of the vehicle. Investigators later found the sedan abandoned behind a Dunkin’ in Raymond.

Officials said there was no known connection between Ford and Hayne.

Ford’s body was discovered near the abandoned vehicle after a police K-9 search. An autopsy determined he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Police said he was seen as the only occupant of the vehicle involved in the shooting and that he lived alone.

Investigators said they initially withheld the status of the dead man and the names of those involved while they worked on positively identifying them and making attempts to notify the next of kin. Hayne died of multiple gunshot wounds and his death was ruled a homicide, police said.

Route 302 was shut down for several hours while evidence was collected, and the incident also led to a shelter-in-place notice for the area. The shelter-in-place phone notification that went out about the shooter was not intended to go out statewide.

Maine State Police Major Crimes Unit South is leading the ongoing investigation. The unit is seeking individuals who were in the area or traveling on Route 302 when the shooting happened and afterward, especially if they have video from that period. They are encouraged to contact police with any information.
