Maurice Clemmons has been named a person of interest, and thus Maurice Clemmons is being sought by authorities who have questions for the man who left jail just one week ago. Maurice Clemmons is currently wanted for questioning in the murders of four Lakewood police officers in the morning hours of Sunday, November 29th.

They aren’t stating that he is a suspect at the time, but rather a person of interest in the investigation.” Sources: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2441608/maurice_clemmons_named_person_of_interest.html?
