SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) – Authorities say deputies with the U.S. Marshals Service
have shot and killed a federal drug trafficking suspect during a confrontation
in Springfield.
The Springfield News-Leader reports that the shooting happened Tuesday
afternoon after investigators caught up with the suspect at the Old Town Centre
shopping center. U.S. Marshals Service supervisory deputy Darren Lane says a
federal arrest warrant had been issued for the man in February 2018.
Lane says that when deputy marshals attempted to arrest him, he brandished a
firearm and was shot. He was seen being taken from inside a Metro PCS store on a
gurney.
Lane says the man died at a hospital. His name wasn’t immediately released,
pending notification of relatives.
