(Tuesday, April 4, 2023) – A dramatic and deadly end to a three-week manhunt for Roy McGrath, the ex-top aide to former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan. McGrath died Monday as a  result of a confrontation with the FBI in an area of Knoxville, Tennessee.

In a statement Monday night, the FBI said that it was “reviewing an agent involved shooting that occurred approximately 6:30 p.m.  During the arrest, the subject, Roy McGrath sustained injury and was transported to the hospital.  The FBI takes all shooting incidents involving our agents or task force members seriously.”

The FBI did not reveal whether McGrath was shot by an agent or if his fatal injury was self-inflicted.  McGrath’s death ends a 21-day manhunt for the man who was once a top aide to Hogan.  McGrath had been on the run since last month after he failed to show up in a Baltimore courtroom to face corruption charges.
