OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

NARRATIVE:
On 06/02/2021, members of a U.S. Marshals Service fugitive task force tracked Clayton Wayne Barbee of Celeste, Texas, to the Cartwright area of Bryan County, Oklahoma. Barbee was being sought on multiple warrants from Texas and Oklahoma, including an aggravated-assault-with-a-deadly-weapon case.
.
The task force located Barbee near the Victory Life Church boat-ramp area. Two members of the U.S. Marshals task force opened fire and shot Barbee. Barbee died at the scene. Authorities did not publicly disclose whether Barbee was armed, what actions police alleged caused the two task-force members to fire, or other circumstances immediately preceding the gunfire.
.
Barbee's father, Wayne Barbee, said the family learned of the shooting through reports on Facebook and drove to Cartwright seeking information. He said an Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper eventually confirmed that the dead man was his son after asking the family to describe Barbee and his tattoos.
.
Wayne Barbee said the funeral director advised the family not to view Barbee's body because of the extent of the gunshot wounds. According to his father, the funeral director told him Barbee had been shot two or three times in the face and approximately six times in the chest.
.
More than two weeks after the shooting, Barbee's family said authorities still had not told them what happened immediately before police opened fire. His father said the family had contacted Oklahoma and Texas authorities seeking answers.
.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol investigated the fatal shooting. The two U.S. Marshals task-force members who fired their weapons were placed on leave while the shooting was investigated.
