Armed, he resisted arrest so cops were forced to shoot, officials said.

He died yesterday morning and positive identification of the body is still pending the coroner's examination, according to police.

Back in 2017 Carlson was arrested on multiple charges of burglary, attempted rape and assault with a deadly weapon.

After posting a $1m bond he managed to escape to South Carolina, stole a gun, then disappeared in a rental car.

A dangerous  car chase with cop ensued but as the pursuit reached high speeds, police were forced to terminate it for safety fears, and Carlson slipped away.

A federal arrest warrant was issued in the United States District Court, Central District of California, on December 12, 2017, and Carlson was charged with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.

The FBI suspected that Carlson was behind a number of rapes in the Los Angeles area.
