ORLANDO, FLORIDA — After a fugitive murder suspect fatally shot one police officer, a manhunt led to the death of another in a road accident. <br /> <br />Markeith Loyd, 41, has been wanted by police since December for allegedly murdering his pregnant girlfriend and critically wounding her brother. <br /> <br />The Orlando Sentinel reports that on Monday, Orlando police Master Sergeant Debra Clayton spotted the suspect at a local Walmart around 7 a.m. She gave chase, and yelled for Loyd to stop. The suspect responded by opening fire and wounding her. She eventually died from her injuries. <br /> <br />According to a statement released by the city of Orlando, Loyd then fled in a police car, and was seen by a deputy as he was pulling into a nearby apartment complex. Loyd shot at the deputy but missed, instead hitting his vehicle. He carjacked another vehicle and sped away. <br /> <br />The stolen vehicle was found abandoned near Rosemont and Cinderlane Parkway, prompting a search of the area. In the ensuing manhunt, another officer identified as Norman Lewis was killed after a van collided with his motorcycle. <br /> <br />A SWAT team was called to scour the area, but were unable to find Loyd. He is still at large.
