Roy C. McGrath, a former top aide to Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, died after an encounter with the FBI in Knoxville, Tennessee, according to his lawyer. McGrath had been subject to a manhunt after he failed to appear at a federal court in Baltimore on charges of wire fraud, embezzlement, and falsifying records. In a statement, the FBI confirmed that McGrath had been involved in a shooting with an agent, and was transported to the hospital before his death. McGrath's attorney noted that the details of his client's death remained unclear, and whether it was caused by an agent's gunfire or self-inflicted is unknown. McGrath was set to face the charges starting on March 13, having been indicted on fraud and embezzlement charges for alleged financial misconduct during his tenure as the head of a Maryland quasi-public agency. Prior to his disappearance, an e-book titled "Betrayed: The True Story of Roy McGrath,” was released on Amazon that featured McGrath as the protagonist and criticized Hogan. Hogan's spokesman has since released a statement of condolence, indicating that he and his wife were “deeply saddened” by the events.
