U.S. Marshals shot and killed 32-year-old Frankie Jennings Tuesday near Charlotte's Plaza Midwood neighborhood, the Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department confirmed later that afternoon.
The Marshals' Carolinas Regional Fugitive Task Force (CRFTF) was attempting to arrest Jennings for outstanding warrants when the shooting occurred, said CMPD, who is now the lead law enforcement agency investigating the shooting and the homicide.
Shortly after 11 a.m. Thursday, officials with the task force attempted to arrest Jennings when "one of the [task force] deputies perceived a lethal threat and fired a service weapon, striking the man," CMPD said in a released statement. WCNC Charlotte is asking law enforcement officials for more details about what was perceived to be the lethal threat.
A witness at the shooting, who did not want to be identified, said she heard a couple of gunshots.
"My son said he heard, 'Get down!' and a couple of shots," the woman described to WCNC Charlotte. "It's crazy." #WakeUpCLT #CLTnews
