The suspect in the death of a Pennsylvania state trooper was shot and killed Saturday morning in a confrontation with police.

Weaver, who enlisted in the Pennsylvania State Police in December 2015, is the 97th member of the Pennsylvania State Police to be killed in the line of duty, AP reported.

Weaver was killed during the incident near Hesston in Juniata Township. Authorities executed search warrants in an area just west of Lake Raystown, District Attorney David Smith told WJAC TV 6.

Pennsylvania State Police released a photo late Friday of the person wanted in connection to Weaver's death. In identifying Robison, authorities said he should be considered armed and dangerous. “It is believed that his hair is currently dyed purple,” the Facebook post added.

Gov. Tom Wolf thanked police after the "swift resolution" of the manhunt.

"I thank the troopers and their counterparts who worked through the night and put their lives on the line," he wrote in a news release on Saturday.

Wolf also extended his deepest condolences and prayers to the Weaver's family.

"Trooper Weaver’s life and service to our commonwealth ended far too soon – may we never forget his sacrifice. Frances and I ask all Pennsylvanians to join us in keeping his wife, family, and fellow Troopers in our thoughts and prayers as they confront this horrific tragedy," he added.
