U.S. Marshals attempting to arrest a suspect wanted in the 2022 robbery of Lamor Miller-Whitehead, known as the “Bling Bishop," shot and killed the man as he fired at law enforcement Wednesday afternoon, two senior law enforcement sources said. Shamar Leggette, 41, was inside the MHO Inn and Suites on US-1 in Monmouth Junction, New Jersey when U.S. Marshals attempted to arrest him, sources said. A woman inside the hotel surrendered to authorities, but amid negotiations with federal agents, senior law enforcement sources told NBC New York that Leggette came out shooting at deputy marshals and they returned fire killing him.
