US Marshals solve Shamar Leggette crime problem
2024-01-25
[NYT] A career criminal suspected of robbing flashy Brooklyn bishop Lamor Whitehead during a live-streamed service in 2022 was shot dead by US Marshals in New Jersey Wednesday, law enforcement sources told The Post.

Shamar Leggette — who is third on the list of New York’s most wanted fugitives — was killed during a confrontation with Marshals who were attempting to arrest him for the armed robbery, the sources said.

Leggette, 41, fired at officers as he exited the MHO Inn and Suites in Monmouth Junction, where they were waiting to take him into custody, NBC New York reported.

A woman he was with inside the hotel surrendered to authorities before Leggette came out shooting, according to the station.

Leggette, who has served two stints in state prison, was identified as a suspect in the brazen church robbery last year after his two accomplices were arrested.
