ORLANDO, Fla. — A massive manhunt was underway Monday in central Florida as authorities searched for a man accused of shooting and killing an Orlando police officer.
Master Sergeant Debra Clayton was shot and killed when she encountered a wanted murder suspect in the parking lot of a Walmart at the intersection of Princeton Street and John Young Parkway.
The subject, Markeith Loyd, 41, was wanted for murdering his pregnant ex-girlfriend and for shooting her new boyfriend three months prior. After shooting Sergeant Clayton, the man carjacked a vehicle and fled the scene. A captain from the Orange County Sheriff's Office spotted the vehicle moments later and was shot at as he got behind it. The suspect continued to flee and remains at large.
During the ensuing search an Orange County sheriff's deputy was killed in a motorcycle crash at the intersection of Pine Hills Road and Balboa Drive when another vehicle turned in front of his motorcycle. The deputy's name has not yet been released.
Sergeant Clayton had served with the Orlando Police Department for 17 years. She is survived by her husband and two children.

LDWF Agent Shot Multiple Times in Morehouse Parish
A Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Enforcement Division agent was shot in the line of duty while on patrol in Morehouse Parish in the early morning hours of Jan. 7.

EMS arrived on scene and were able to stabilize Wheeler and prepare him for air transport. Wheeler was airlifted around 4 a.m. to the LSU Health Shreveport Trauma Center for immediate treatment. It is unknown at this time the extent of Wheeler’s injuries.

Jason Robison Murdered Trooper On The Run, ‘The Only Good Cop Is A Dead Cop’
Jason Robison shot and killed Trooper Landon Weaver on Friday night at around 6:30 PM when Trooper Weaver responded to a “domestic-related” incident. After killing Trooper Weaver, Robison fled and has been on the run since.
Robison had recently been making anti-police Facebook posts. Centre Daily reports that Robison’s Facebook page showed a post from December 17th which said, “The only good cop is a dead cop.” The post showed two photos, a police cruiser that had crashed and another of an injured police officer. The post was then deleted from the Facebook page at around 1 AM Saturday morning. It’s not clear if Robison deleted the post in an attempt to cover up potential evidence which could be used against him.
