U.S. Marshals: Man took his own life during attempted arrest

CLEVELAND — One man is dead after an attempted arrest by the U.S. Marshals on Friday, according to the Brooklyn Police Department.

According to the U.S. Marshals, Brooklyn Police said just before 6 a.m., 24-year-old Dionte Hawthorne Junior entered an apartment at the 300 block of Northridge Oval without permission and shot a man and threatened to shoot a woman, before running away.

Brooklyn Police then reached out to the Northeast Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force (NOVFT) for help, the U.S Marshals said.

NOVFT members tried to arrest Hawthorne at the 6400 block of Scovill Avenue in Cleveland later that day. Two women confirmed Hawthorne was home, but when authorities called out to him, they said they heard gunfire and found him with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the U.S. Marshals said.
