ALEXANDRIA — Federal prosecutors have indicted a man accused of killing a U.S. Marshal deputy in Alexandria.

According to investigators, Clarence Frazier Junior shot Deputy Marshal Drew Hanson after barricading himself inside a home last month. Hanson was executing a warrant at the time.

Frazier, a 48-year-old registered sex offender, had missed a court date before the warrant was issued. He now faces federal charges for murder and attempted murder of a task force officer.

Rapides Parish Sheriff Mark Woods said the case is a reminder of what law enforcement face every day.

Prosecutors say they plan to seek the death penalty in this case.
