Larry Hogan's former chief of staff dead after FBI-involved shooting
by Samuel Schaffer, Associate News Editor | April 03, 2023
Roy McGrath, former Maryland GOP Gov. Larry Hogan's onetime chief of staff, died after a shooting involving the FBI on Monday evening in Tennessee.
McGrath's lawyer, Joseph Murtha, said the FBI confirmed to him that McGrath had died. Murtha said McGrath never wavered on his innocence.
McGrath was taken to the hospital after being hurt in the shooting at the 10700 block of Kingston Pike at Lovell Road in Knoxville. It is unclear if McGrath died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound or if he was shot by an agent. The incident happened around 6:30 p.m. and is under review, according to the FBI.
McGrath faced an eight-count federal indictment with charges including wire fraud. He is being accused of allegedly securing a $233,648 severance payment equal to one year of salary as the head of the Maryland Environmental Service and faces fraud and embezzlement charges for roughly $170,000 in expenses.
"The FBI is reviewing an agent-involved shooting which occurred at approximately 6:30 p.m. on Monday, April 3, 2023," the bureau wrote in a statement.
"During the arrest the subject, Roy McGrath, sustained injury and was transported to the hospital," it added.
The statement went on to note that the FBI takes all shooting matters seriously. It said the incident was being investigated by the FBI's Inspection Division.
