U.S. Marshal Tasked with Protecting Justice Sotomayor Shoots Armed Suspected Carjacker

Members of Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s security detail allegedly shot an armed suspected carjacker last week, according to charging documents.

An armed man, identified as Kentrell Flowers, stepped out of a silver van that pulled up near the justice’s residence on July 5, and aimed a gun at an unmarked car that contained two United States Marshals who were tasked with “protecting the residences of U.S. Supreme Court justices,” Politico reported.
