Husband Of Murdered Woman Dead After Shooting Himself: Sheriff
Lemarr Carver was the primary person of interest in the death of hid wife, Tricia, who was found murdered near St. Paul on Monday.
HILLSBORO, OR – Soon after 47-year-old Tricia Carver was found dead in a field in St. Paul on Nov. 5, detectives determined that her husband, Lemarr, was their primary person of interest. On Wednesday night, they executed a search warrant at his home in Hillsboro.
Deputies from the Marion County Sheriff's Office and the Washington County Tactical Negotiation Team took up positions outside the home, using a loudspeaker to tell Lemarr to come out. When he didn't respond, they used flash bang grenades to get his attention.
That didn't work either.

He was dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The sheriff's office says that Tricia had last been seen Sunday afternoon. She'd been staying with her mother in Albany after separating from Lemarr.
When her mother and none of her friends heard from her, they reported her missing.
Monday morning, a driver saw a body in a field. The body was quickly identified as being Tricia.
Lemarr was a defense attorney who headed a firm with offices in Beaverton and Salem.
