A massive manhunt is underway for a suspect, in the shooting death of a Orlando police officer — 17 year veteran Master Sgt. Debra Clayton.
Sergeant Clayton received a tip that the suspect, identified as Markeith Loyd was at a nearby Wal-Mart Shopping Center.
She approached the 41-year-old Lloyd, who opened fire on her immediately… then fled the scene in a car-jacked vehicle. Clayton returned fire, but did not hit Loyd.
Police have been looking for Lloyd in the shooting death of his 24-year-old pregnant girlfriend, whom he allegedly shot on December 13, 2016. It has been reported that Lloyd also shot and injured his girlfriend’s brother — on the same day.
A Orlando Sheriff Deputy involved in a chase has been killed when he collided with another vehicle, at an intersection. The Sheriff Deputy has not been identified.
Lloyd is considered armed and extremely dangerous. If you come in contact with this individual, do not approach him, call police right away.
