A fugitive and ex- chief of staff to Maryland’s Governor is shot and killed by FBI agents in West Knoxville.

FBI officials confirm that an agent was involved in a shooting in the Gold’s Gym parking lot in Farragut last night after authorities attempted to take Roy McGrath into custody.

After the incident, he was taken to the hospital where he died as a result of his injuries.

McGrath was a fugitive from Baltimore and was found here in Tennessee by law enforcement. He was indicted in October 2021, and faced a maximum of 100 years in federal prison for charges that he illegally recorded former Governor Hogan and stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from the state government.
