Jordan Urenovitch, who was wanted on warrants for gun and drug charges, fired at a member of the Fugitive Task Force in Hazle Township when the deputy fired back, Pennsylvania State Police said.
Deputies apparently spotted Urenovitch in a car before he bolted over to 22nd Street Auto Center and shot were fired around 12:40 p.m., according to PSP.
Urenovitch was pronounced dead at the hospital.
The Luzerne County DA will handle the investigation.
