Seattle police detectives and SWAT arrested an Ohio fugitive with a nationwide warrant for murder, felony assault, and trafficking cocaine.
On April 2, at about 12:15 p.m., detectives in the Gun Violence Reduction Unit (GVRU) received information that a wanted man, 24, may be in the Seattle area. The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office in Cincinnati issued a $500,000 arrest warrant for the suspected felon last September.
Detectives tracked the suspect to an apartment building in the 6600 block of Roosevelt Way Northeast. They requested SPD’s SWAT team to arrest the high-risk fugitive.
At about 12:40 p.m., SWAT set up a security perimeter around the apartment. Shortly thereafter, SWAT arrested the suspect without incident.
GVRU verified the arrest warrant and police booked the man into the King County Jail. He is expected to be extradited back to Ohio to face justice.
