FAYETTE COUNTY, Ga. — A U.S. Marshal was shot Sunday morning by a Pike County murder suspect, according to the Pike County sheriff’s office.
Fayette County deputies say the shooting happened at the Shiloh Mobile Home Park off of Hwy. 54 in Peachtree City.
Pike County officials identified the suspect as 19-year-old Antonio Murgado Jr.
They say that while the U.S. Marshals were arresting Murgado, an officer-involved shooting happened.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation confirmed that they are investigating the officer-involved shooting.
Murgado was wanted for a shooting earlier this month that left a 19-year-old dead after what investigators say was a drug deal. At the time of that crime, Murgado was out on bond for armed robbery in Clayton County and possession of methamphetamine in Spalding County.
