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. The incident happened around 6:30 p.m. and is under review, according to the FBI.
“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.
The arrest happened days after Hogan expressed his support for the FBI and U.S. Marshals Service to track down McGrath.
