Authorities continued searching for a homicide suspect in a remote corner of western Virginia on Wednesday after they say he fled from police in eastern Tennessee, prompting calls for residents to lock their homes and secure their vehicles.
The Lee County Sheriff’s Office in Virginia said in a statement that Jason Dockery is a suspect in a fatal shooting in Tennessee’s Anderson County, which is northwest of Knoxville. Dockery is also wanted for violations of probation for aggravated assault in Tennessee, the statement said.
Police began their pursuit of Dockery that afternoon in Tennessee’s Claiborne County, which is near Anderson County and borders the far western edge of Virginia. The search for Dockery involves several law enforcement agencies, including Virginia State Police and the National Park Service. Meanwhile, U.S. Marshals are offering a reward of up to a $5,000 for information that leads to Dockery’s capture.
