Media summary: U.S. marshals were seeking to execute a warrant for homicide, robbery and aggravated assault when they went to a home. Two people, David Cannimore and Bryce Metts, were at the home when they noticed unmarked police cars outside. The two immediately left the home in a Nissan Rogue. Cannimore was driving the car. The deputy marshals turned on their lights, but reportedly didn't chase the two. The two continued to flee, eventually crashing into a utility pole and tree, where the deputy marshals, who weren't pursuing them, found the wreck. Cannimore and Metts were both killed. Neither was the person being sought by the deputy marshals.
