At Roadway Inn in Canton, Ohio, the FBI, state, and local police coordinate to arrest alleged murderer James Vanest. The cold case murder of Debbie Miller stems well over 40 years prior in 1981. Newly discovered DNA evidence linked James to several notable items, including the weapon he used to budgeon her to death all those years ago in her apartment in West Virginia. Officials also obtained a weapons warrant and will now attempt to take him under arrest. Occupants of 220, US Marshalss with a warrant, come to the door. We're doing it now. >> You want to pop this? If you can wedge it. >> I'm doing something wrong here. >> Master key is not working for room 220. >> Maybe he'll lock from inside.

An MRAP, short for mine resistant ambush protected vehicle, is called in to join the Bearecat already on scene. Additional offduty officers are also ordered in via their personal vehicles to assist. The new sniper also takes an alternative position in this corner of the parking lot. Notably, any shot from here will have to thread between fellow officers before reaching the suspect believed to be barricaded in the corner of the motel room behind the bed. >> Yes.

Do you understand what I'm saying now? >> Yes. I'm just trying to leave. >> Okay, that's fine. Security footage shows these bystanders remained in their room for at least the next few hours, during which it appears their dog got loose, ran under caution tape, and among officers before going back inside. Regarding the suspect, James was killed during the exchange of gunfire. However, the publicly provided BCI summary redacts the coroner's autopsy as required by Ohio law, concealing the details behind his cause of death. The report does detail that nine officers fired their rifles during the shooting incident. Investigators recovered 147 rifle casings linked two officers, 15 casings from inside James' room, and at least 39 identifiable less lethal rounds, excluding the dozens upon dozens of pepper ball ammunition. BCI cautioned the true number of shots fired may have been even higher. Investigators found James with two handguns and four additional loaded magazines in the room with him. In his truck, he had three additional firearms along with magazines and ammunition. BCI's investigation found James fired first, continued shooting toward officers and the public, and was given multiple opportunities to surrender. Reports indicate officers were legally justified in their use of deadly force and no criminal charges were filed.
