一名路易斯安那州男子因枪杀一名美国副法警致死被控谋杀,该副法警与其他警员此前因他未出席一场涉及性侵犯指控的庭审,前往其住所执行任务。

据路易斯安那州西区美国检察官办公室消息,现年48岁的克拉伦斯·A·弗雷泽二世来自路易斯安那州亚历山大市,若罪名成立,他最高可被判处终身监禁或死刑。

弗雷泽已被联邦指控一项杀害联邦公职人员罪名,涉及副法警德鲁·汉森的死亡。地区检察官办公室表示,7月13日,弗雷泽躲在卧室内向前来执行逮捕的警员开枪,汉森中枪身亡。

美国法警局称,汉森留下妻子和两名子女。

执法人员于周一将弗雷泽逮捕后,根据联邦调查局特工的证词提交了起诉书,一名联邦治安法官于周二公开了该起诉书。

代理美国检察官托德·布兰奇在一份声明中表示,弗雷泽将“在法律最大限度内被追究责任”。

代表弗雷泽的联邦公设辩护人未立即回复记者寻求置评的电话和电子邮件。

联邦调查局特工詹姆斯·里默的证词显示,法警和警长侦探周一进入弗雷泽的住所,以送达一项藐视法庭的逮捕令,在卧室里找到了弗雷泽。据其他执法人员消息,弗雷泽向警员开枪并造成汉森致命伤。

里默称,弗雷泽随后躲在卧室里,经过对峙后被逮捕。

根据在线法庭记录,弗雷泽原定于当天在拉皮兹教区地区法院参加一场2024年由检察官提起的诉讼庭审。法庭记录显示,他被控一项三级强奸罪,最高可判处25年监禁,以及一项对残疾人性侵犯罪,最高可判处20年监禁。

据当地警长部门维护的在线名单显示,弗雷泽是一名登记在案的性犯罪者,但该名单未提供其此前定罪的细节。

Louisiana man charged with murder in shooting of U.S. marshal, could face death penalty

A Louisiana man has been charged with murder in the fatal shooting of a deputy U.S. marshal who, along with other officers, responded to his residence after he failed to appear at a trial in which he faced sexual battery charges.

Clarence A. Frazier Jr., 48, of Alexandria, Louisiana, could face a maximum sentence of life in prison or the death penalty if convicted, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Louisiana.

Frazier has been federally charged with one count of murder of a federal officer in the death of Drew Hanson, the deputy U.S. marshal. The district attorney’s office said Hanson was struck by gunfire while trying to apprehend Frazier on July 13, after Frazier barricaded himself in his bedroom and began shooting at the officers who had come to his home.

Hanson is survived by a wife and two children, the U.S. Marshal’s Service said.

Authorities filed a complaint against him after he was taken into custody Monday, based on an FBI agent’s affidavit, and a federal magistrate unsealed the complaint Tuesday.

Acting U.S. Attorney Todd Blanche said in a statement that Frazier would be “held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.”

A federal public defender representing Frazier did not immediately respond to telephone and email messages seeking comment.

Marshals and sheriff’s detectives entered Frazier’s home Monday to serve an arrest warrant for contempt of court and found him in a bedroom, the FBI agent, James Rimmer, said in his affidavit. According to other authorities, Frazier shot at the officers and fatally wounded Hanson.

He then barricaded himself in the bedroom and was arrested after a standoff, Rimmer said.

Frazier had a trial scheduled to start that day in Rapides Parish District Court in a case filed by prosecutors in 2024, according to online court records. He was charged with one count of third-degree rape, punishable by up to 25 years in prison, and one count of sexual battery on a person with infirmities, punishable by up to 20 years, according to court records.

Frazier was a registered sex offender, according to an online list maintained by the local sheriff’s department, though it did not provide details about his previous conviction.
