Fenner was taken to be treated for a gunshot wound following his arrest, Rhode Island station WPRI reports. Officer Timothy Brackeen found Fenner at that location and attempted to apprehend him in the back yard area of the home. Some held flags, balloons or handwritten signs as the hearse carrying Officer Brackeen ended its journey. He was caught later at another location.
All three are facing charges related to harboring a fugitive.
Also arrested were Casey Fenner, of NY, and Deitra Morris, of Shelby, each on a felony charge of accessory after the fact of murder.
Another Shelby woman, Ashley Hamrick, was also arrested in connection with the case.
“I’m not sure ecstatic is the right definition because there are mixed emotions”. He couldn’t be reached for comment while in custody, and it was unclear whether he had a lawyer who could comment for him. They said he died Monday morning from his wounds.
A funeral has been scheduled for a North Carolina police officer who was shot and killed by a man on whom he was trying to serve a warrant. Philbin said Fenner was not injured during his capture in Rhode Island but believes the suspect sustained the gunshot wound in his struggle with Brackeen.
Irving Lucien Fenner Jr. was arrested on Tiogue Avenue in Coventry overnight Tuesday.
Officer Brackeen, 38, was shot while looking for a wanted man over the weekend and died Monday morning at Carolinas Medical Center, the Shelby police chief said. The Shelby Police Department obtained a felony warrant for the suspect for first-degree murder.
Sources told WBTV that Hamrick knew Fenner was wanted while she was harboring him.
Since the fatal shooting on Saturday, six additional people have been arrested.
The scene remained active as of 10:45 Tuesday night.
North Carolina put out the warrant for her arrest, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation contacted Nassau police, which made the arrest, the source said. They’re accused of providing aid to Fenner in the days after the killing, according to police. The page says “the funds raised will go to help Tim, Tim’s wife, and daughter during their time of crisis”.
