The suspect then ran into a nearby parking deck where he carjacked a civilian and fled the scene. He is the focus of large manhunt covering three southern states.
Sergeant Teasley was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later. The wounded deputy suffered serious wounds but is expected to recover.
