Pettway had an active arrest warrant for the murder of his girlfriend Marisol Dumeng on Saturday, May 28, said Gilleran.

The US Marshals Violent Fugitive Task Force immediately acted on the tip relaying information to Tennessee law enforcement. Just after 5 p.m., on Wednesday, June 1, police confirmed Pettway was inside a residence armed with a handgun, Gilleran added.

After a lengthy standoff, entry was made into the Jackson residence on Thursday, he said.

Pettway was found dead with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, prior to police making contact with him inside the home, Gilleran said.

Evidence was seized and collected from the scene.

This remains an ongoing investigation with additional arrests anticipated, he said.

"This incident came to conclusion with the public's assistance and the speedy actions of multiple agencies nationwide to include the Jackson Tennessee Police Department, US Marshals Service, and multiple units of the Bridgeport Police Department," Gilleran said.
