McGrath, 53, was declared a wanted fugitive after his disappearance, and the FBI said he was considered an international flight risk.
BALTIMORE — A one-time chief of staff for former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan died Monday after being shot when FBI agents confronted him in a manhunt launched when he failed to show up for trial on corruption charges, his lawyer said.
According to an earlier email from FBI Supervisory Special Agent Shayne Buchwald in Maryland, McGrath was wounded during"an agent-involved shooting" about 6:30 p.m. in a commercial area on the southwestern outskirts of Knoxville, Tennessee. Buchwald said McGrath was taken to a hospital but did not elaborate.
Murtha called the death"a tragic ending to the past three weeks of uncertainty" and said his client always maintained his innocence.
