WANTED - Michael Timothy Puckett for homicide of a law enforcement officer. ARMED and DANGEROUS. $10,000 reward for information that leads to his arrest.

[FBI Richmond @FBIRichmond]

The Carroll County Sheriff's Office is surging local, state, and federal law enforcement partners to locate and capture Michael Timothy Puckett. Additional resources from the FBI, US Marshals, ATF, along with multiple local agencies continue to assist the Carroll County Sheriff's Office and the Virginia State Police.

Carroll County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to a welfare check at Puckett's home on Fancy Gap Highway on Friday at approximately 9:30 p.m. When they arrived and made contact, authorities said Puckett opened fire, shooting both deputies, killing one deputy and injuring the second. He then fled the scene.

We are asking the public to check surveillance video or trail/hunting camera images to assist in real-time tracking of the fugitive. We also ask home and business owners to lock your vehicles, close your garage doors, lock up your sheds and do not leave anything outside Puckett could use to assist him to elude capture. Call 911 if you see Puckett.

🚨Breaking: The Senate has confirmed Robert Cekada to be the new Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, making him only the third Senate-confirmed leader in the agency’s history and the first active ATF Special Agent to hold the title of director.

A law enforcement veteran with more than 30 years of dedicated service, Cekada brings extensive experience and steady leadership to the role. President Trump nominated Cekada originally Nov. 18, 2025. He well-positioned to guide the ATF into its next chapter with a proven track record of taking violent criminals off the streets while protecting Constitutional rights of Americans.
