A weeklong manhunt for a suspect wanted in the killings of four people ended without another shot fired Monday morning as hundreds of officers surrounded him in South Carolina, authorities said.
An extremely dangerous fugitive has been pictured moments after being arrested in South Carolina on Monday after six days on the run following four random killings in two states as part of a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde duo.
Tyler Donnet Terry, 26, is seen sitting in the back of a police pick-up in a ripped brown shirt and with his hands cuffed behind his back. The fugitive has mud-covered pants and is smirking while turning his face away from the camera.
Terry, who is pictured in a second photo standing up while talking to police, had been on the run since last Monday when he fled a car wreck after firing shots at officers.
Wanted Quadruple Murder Suspect Arrested in SC After Days-Long Manhunt
A man suspected of killing four people was captured in South Carolina on Monday after a days-long manhunt that involved local, state, and federal law enforcement, according to authorities.
Tyler Terry was captured near Highway 9 and Highway 99 in Chester County, South Carolina, officials said.
“Tyler Terry is in custody. No shots were fired by any party. Everyone (including Terry) is safe,” the Chester County Sheriff’s Office wrote on Twitter. Other details about his capture were not provided.
Terry was considered armed and dangerous by police, who urged residents to stay indoors, lock their doors, and secure their firearms and valuables. They also called on locals to check barns, crawl spaces, or other locations where the suspect could hide.

Thomas Hardin, a 35-year-old trans woman, was murdered this month in a brutal killing spree across two US states.
Hardin, described by those who knew her as an affable wisecracker, was killed at her home in York, South Carolina on 2 May. Local officials have not confirmed a cause of death, but witnesses say she was shot.
It’s believed that she was killed by a man she had been romantically involved with, and who is also accused of shooting two other people that same day.
The suspect, Tyler Terry, has been linked to killings across both South Carolina and in St Louis, Missouri. The pair, friends and neighbours claimed, and “had a falling out” after Hardin asked Perry to move out.
Authorities in South Carolina have managed to successfully nab a murder suspect wanted for four killings Monday morning without the need for any violence.
