California rape murder suspect fatally shot by US Marshals

U.S. Marshals in Phoenix on Friday evening shot and killed a fugitive wanted in California on murder and rape charges, the federal agency said.

The fugitive died amid an exchange of gunfire with members of U.S. Marshals Service task force near Sky Harbor International Airport.

When task force members tried to arrest the suspect, "a handgun was produced, and the suspect fired multiple rounds at law enforcement. Task Force members returned fire, striking the suspect," the Marshals Service statement said in a statement.

A Chicago man fatally shot a 24-year-old graduate of the University of Chicago before robbing him and selling his stolen electronics to a pawn shop for $100, authorities said Friday.

Alton Spann, 19, was taken into custody on Friday in connection to the robbery and murder of Shaoxiong Zheng in Hyde Park on Tuesday, Police Supt. David Brown told reporters during a pressconference.
