Just months before four law enforcement officers were killed and five others were injured during a standoff, the man at the center of the deaths led police on a high-speed chase in Lincoln County.
Lincoln County Sheriff Bill Beam told WCNC Charlotte one of his officers tried to pull over 39-year-old Terry Clark Hughes Jr. in January, but instead of slowing down, he sped up and "took off." Beam said a supervisor called off the short chase once the officer identified the license plate number, which was registered to a woman.
The U.S. Marshal Fugitive Task Force was attempting to serve multiple warrants against Hughes on Monday, including one tied to that Lincoln County chase, at a home on Galway Drive in east Charlotte when they were met with "active gunfire," according to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. Hughes was shot and killed during the encounter.
