Maryland deputy shot, killed while chasing fugitive; manhunt leads to suspect’s capture

Wicomico County Deputy First Class Glenn Hilliard was fatally shot in Pittsville, Maryland, on Sunday night while trying to capture a fugitive, authorities said.

Following an extensive manhunt, law enforcement captured the suspect. Authorities didn’t immediately name the suspect, who they said was wanted on multiple felony warrants in multiple jurisdictions.

An earlier alert from the sheriff’s office said a man named Austin Davidson was wanted for questioning in connection with an officer-involved shooting on Gumboro Road in Pittsville that same night. Davidson, who was considered armed and dangerous, was later located, according to the sheriff's office.
