WKYC Channel 3 A suspect who allegedly threatened members of the U.S. Marshals Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force during a warrant execution in Lorain has been fatally shot.
According to a release from Lorain Police Department Lt. Jacob Morris, the incident happened on Thursday morning as task force officers were serving a warrant for 34-year-old Derrick Smith at a house in the 900 block of West 21st Street in Lorain.
Smith was wanted for violating federal parole, stemming from a drug trafficking case, according to authorities.
Morris says task force members were trying to place Smith into custody in an upstairs bedroom of the house, when he attacked them with what was first thought to be a baseball bat, but later clarified as a "wooden table leg."
Attempts to subdue Smith, including the use of a taser, proved unsuccessful as Morris noted that the situation "escalated," leading to Smith being fatally shot by marshals. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
