Stephen’s wife Allison Holker ran into an LAPD station on Tuesday, sources told TMZ.
Allison, 34, was apparently frantic because he had left home without his car, which she said was unlike him.
Police reportedly got a call a short time later for a shooting at an LA hotel.
Officers allegedly found father-of-three Stephen dead there from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Stephen’s shocking death comes just days after he and Allison celebrated their nine-year wedding anniversary on Saturday.

The dancer’s devastated fans have flooded the comments of the clip – which was his last post before his death – with their heartbreak.
One posted, “RIP. I’m in shock. You were such a light to this world!” and another added: “Nooooo!!! This is absolutely heartbreaking.”
