The fugitive former aide to Republican ex-Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan was shot dead Monday night during a confrontation with federal authorities.
Roy McGrath’s death put an end to a three-week manhunt for him that began after he fled before the start of his trial for wire fraud, embezzlement, misconduct in office and improper use of state funds last month.
FBI agents found McGrath near Knoxville, Tenn., around 6:30 p.m. Monday, and he was shot and killed during the confrontation, according to his attorney and federal authorities, the Baltimore Banner reports.
It’s unclear if gunfire from the agents or a self-inflicted wound killed the former Maryland governor’s chief of staff.
The FBI did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
