NASHVILLE, Tenn.
The man fatally shot after charging at a Tennessee police officer with knives drawn was a fugitive suspect in a slaying on Massachusetts State Police’s Most Wanted list, according to authorities.
Plymouth District Attorney Timothy Cruz identified the man Monday as Marvin Veiga, 32, and said in a statement that he was a suspect in the October 2020 shooting death of a 25-year-old man.
Veiga had remained on the loose until Friday, when Metropolitan Nashville Police Department Officer Christopher Royer fatally shot him during a traffic stop, department spokesman Don Aaron said.
Royer was on patrol in his police car when he ran a license plate for a white Mercedes sedan and found the plate was actually registered to a green 1998 Chevrolet, Aaron said. After the officer stopped the Mercedes, the passenger ran from the car holding a knife in each hand, according to the spokesman.
