Timothy James Hogland was wanted for questioning in the Graysville murder of 40-year-old Jeremy Joseph Sehhat. Police learned a possible location for Hogland in northern Jefferson County. Hogland then barricaded himself in a trailer that was surrounded by police. He eventually jumped out of a window and fled in a Honda CRV. Police pursued him on Interstate 65 until he exited in Hayden. He struck at least one Blount County sheriff's vehicle and then bailed from his disabled SUV. Hogland allegedly tried to carjack an innocent female motorist before turning the gun toward police. Multiple officers shot and killed him.
