MARION, Va. – The man charged in the fatal shooting of a sheriff’s deputy in southwest Virginia and wounding of another deputy earlier this month has died at a Tennessee hospital, a local prosecutor said.

The Taylor Police Department’s RADDOG strutted onto the field with a baseball in a special holder; the players received it on the mound before the game ceremoniously began.

“Our drones were able to respond and provided invaluable assistance in apprehending the suspects,” said NYPD Commissioner Kaz Daughtry

Real-time crime centers are spreading rapidly in the United States, growing 148% in the last four years, and around 150 police departments have already implemented these units.

“These materials are important to our community … as we strive to be a self-evaluating and self-correcting department,” said interim chief Michael Sullivan

Timothy Wayne Goodman, 65, of North Carolina, died early Friday at Johnson City Medical Center, according to a news release from Smyth County Attorney Phillip Blevins.

Goodman was charged with murder in the Aug. 9 killing of Smyth County Deputy Hunter Reedy, as well as four counts of attempted murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a crime, Blevins said previously. The other injured Smyth County deputy was released a day after the shooting and is recovering at home, news outlets reported.

Goodman was hospitalized after he was also shot during an altercation with police officers, according to police.

Goodman’s death “closes an important chapter in this matter, but our commitment to support Deputy Reedy’s family, the other officers involved and the entire law enforcement community is stronger than ever,” Blevins said in the release.

Authorities said the shootings occurred during a traffic stop in which Reedy participated with Marion police officers. An investigation revealed that Goodman was involved in an altercation with Marion police officers and sheriff’s deputies prior to the shooting, according to Virginia State Police.

Reedy’s funeral was held Saturday at a church in Chilhowie. Speakers included Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears and Attorney General Jason Miyares. Reedy, 28, attended high school in Chilhowie and was a police officer there before joining the sheriff’s department. He was married and had three children.
