Knox County Sheriff's Office and FBI officers work in a parking lot area in Knoxville, Tenn. Monday, April 3, 2023. A lawyer for a former Maryland political aide says the man has died after being wounded while being confronted by law enforcement agents following a manhunt launched after he failed to appear for trial. Attorney Joseph Murtha said it is not immediately clear if Roy McGrath’s wound was self-inflicted or came during an exchange of gunfire with agents.

Officials also haven’t said whether McGrath was armed during the fatal encounter.
McGrath grew up in southern Maryland, graduated from the University of Maryland in College Park and built a career in state-level Republican politics. His relationship with Hogan dated back decades; he worked on Hogan’s unsuccessful 1992 congressional campaign. McGrath spent many years working for the National Association of Chain Drug Stores before transitioning back into state politics after Hogan was elected governor.
