Funeral Service Held For Bounty Hunter, Former Marine Killed While Confronting Alleged Fugitive

SAN BERNARDINO (CBSLA) — A funeral service was held Tuesday for bounty hunter and former United States Marine James Black, who was killed earlier this month while pursuing a fugitive.

Black was killed at a Moreno Valley hotel on Dec. 4 while confronting alleged fugitive 41-year-old Chad James Green of Riverside with the intent of taking him into custody.

While confronting Green, Black was shot and was rushed to a local hospital where he died.

Green was killed days after Black's death in a deputy-involved shooting at a San Bernardino hotel. Black was laid to rest at the Riverside National Cemetery.

The husband and father of five was remembered as warm, friendly, and a role model. A GoFundMe account was made to support Black's family.
