周日，随着对一名涉嫌枪杀两名弗吉尼亚州副警长的男子的搜索继续进行，美国联邦调查局和美国联邦法警服务局(U.S. Marshals Service)提供了6万美元的悬赏，以获取导致逮捕嫌疑人的信息。
位于里士满的美国联邦调查局外地办事处周日宣布，除了美国联邦法警周六提供的1万美元外，还将提供5万美元的奖励，以提供导致55岁的迈克尔·蒂莫西·帕克特(Michael Timothy Puckett)被捕的信息。
弗吉尼亚州卡罗尔县治安官凯文·a·肯普在一份声明中说:“帕克特应该被视为携带武器，极其危险。”。「任何人如看见他或知道他的下落，请不要接近他，并立即致电911。」
卡罗尔县警长办公室确认，周五晚上在里士满附近的家中被枪杀的副手是洛根·乌特(Logan Utt)，他是一名退伍军人，自2023年以来一直是该机构的成员。
坎普说，当地时间晚上9点26分左右，Utt和另一名副警长被派往该住宅进行福利检查，当时他们与据称向他们开火的Puckett接触。
坎普说，当帕克特据称逃离现场时，代表们进行了还击。
坎普说，枪击的动机仍在调查中。
警察局在脸书的一份声明中说，在美国东部时间早上6点56分左右，在北卡罗来纳州萨里县的野生动物游戏摄像机上发现了这名逃犯后，对帕克特的搜索范围扩大到了北卡罗来纳州。
坎普称乌特为“英雄”，他的“毕生梦想”是成为一名副警长。
“Utt副警长是一位忠诚的丈夫、慈爱的父亲、珍爱的家庭成员、朋友，也是我们执法家庭中受人尊敬的成员。他的服务、勇气和奉献精神不会被忘记，”坎普说。
$60,000 reward in search for man who allegedly shot 2 Virginia sheriff's deputies, killing 1
As the search continued on Sunday for a man whoallegedly shottwo Virginia sheriff's deputies, one fatally, the FBI and U.S. Marshals Service offered a combined $60,000 reward for information leading to the capture of the suspect.
The FBI field office in Richmond announced on Sunday that it is offering a $50,000 reward on top of the $10,000 that the U.S. Marshals Service offered on Saturday for information leading to the location and arrest of 55-year-old Michael Timothy Puckett.
"Puckett should be considered armed and extremely dangerous," Carroll County, Virginia, Sheriff Kevin A. Kemp said in a statement. "Anyone who sees him or has information regarding his whereabouts is urged not to approach him and to immediately call 911."
The Carroll County Sheriff's Office identified Deputy Logan Utt, a military veteran and a member of the agency since 2023, as the deputy who was killed in the shooting on Friday night at a home near Richmond.
Utt and another sheriff's deputy were sent to the home around 9:26 p.m. local time to conduct a welfare check when they came in contact with Puckett, who allegedly opened fire on them, Kemp said.
The deputies returned fire as Puckett allegedly fled the scene, Kemp said.
A motive for the shooting remains under investigation, Kemp said.
The search for Puckett expanded to North Carolina after the fugitive was spotted around 6:56 a.m. ET on a wildlife game camera in Surry County, North Carolina, north of Mount Airy, the Wytheville, N.C., Police Department said in astatement on Facebook.
Kemp called Utt a "hero," whose "lifelong dream" was to become a sheriff's deputy.
"Deputy Utt was a devoted husband, loving father, cherished family member, friend, and respected member of our law enforcement family. His service, courage, and dedication will not be forgotten," Kemp said.
