The man alleged to have fatally shot a U.S. Marshal in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on Tuesday, has also died from gunshot wounds, BuzzFeed News has confirmed.
Jamie Croom was wanted in connection with the shooting deaths of brother and sister Sinica and Lechelle Williams, who were killed Feb. 18 in a parking lot in New Roads, Louisiana.
U.S. Marshals were executing a search warrant for Croom's arrest when shooting broke out, killing Deputy Marshal Josie Wells.
"The team engaged gunfire and Wells was shot. He was immediately transported to an area hospital, where he died," said Drew J. Wade, chief of the Office of Public Affairs for the U.S. Marshals Service.
