Deputy US Marshal and fugitive killed in shooting

LUDOWICI — A fugitive accused of attempting to murder police officers shot and killed a deputy U.S. marshal who tried to arrest him in southeast Georgia on Friday, with other officers returning fire and killing the suspect, federal authorities said. The U.S. Marshals Service said 53-year-old Patrick Carothers, deputy commander of the agency’s Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force, died after being shot twice as a team of officers tried to execute a no-knock warrant at a mobile home in rural Long County. The slain suspect was identified as Dontrell Montese Carter.
