The man suspected of fatally shooting a Memphis police officer was taken into custody Monday after a nearly two-day manhunt.

Tremaine Wilbourn, 29, who is suspected of killing Memphis Police Officer Sean Bolton, 33, surrendered a bit before 5 p.m. (6 p.m. ET) to the U.S. Marshals Service office, according to police.

Wilbourn was being questioned Monday evening, said Memphis Director of Police Services Toney Armstrong, who added he wasn't surprised the suspect surrendered.

"You have to understand this has been an exhaustive search," Armstrong said during a news conference. "I think he felt the walls closing in and thought it would be in his best interest to turn himself in."
