Man on FBI's 10 most-wanted list arrested in Texas

2017-01-17

[FOXNEWS] A man on the FBI’s 10 most-wanted list for allegedly killing two men in Milwaukee was nabbed
Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un!
Sunday in Texas after spending nearly six months on the lam, authorities said.

Terry A.D. Strickland, 24, was arrested in El Paso and booked into jail. He had been charged in Milwaukee on two counts of first-degree intentional homicide and with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.

Strickland was among a group of man arguing in front of a Milwaukee home July 17, authorities said. Witnesses saw him go inside the house, emerge with a gun and fire into the small crowd. Authorities said Strickland shot and killed Maurice Brown Jr., 38, who was on the ground, then turned to Michael Allen Reed, 39, and shot him in the head.

"It was vicious," Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn said when Strickland was added to the FBI's most-wanted list last month. "It was unnecessary. Neither individual posed the slightest threat to Mr. Strickland, but they paid with their lives for occupying the same space."

#2 When he fled after the shooting he abandoned his toddler at the party; one of the two men he murdered had only been married a few months.

The only things I can think of are

1) gangs were involved -- but then wouldn't the article have said?

2) someone there that night was connected enough to move what sounds like manslaughter up to FBI attention

3) one of those killed was in a federal protection program -- though that sounds like the plot of a bad television show.

But this is not the kind of thing I'm good at. No doubt some of our law enforcement people have a better idea why the FBI cares.

#1 I'm sure there must have been other issues with Mr. Strickland to get him 10MW-ed. There many, many people that have done worse, longer, to more.

Strickland was added to the FBI's most-wanted list last month
Two weeks ago?
I wonder if maybe he didn't make the list immediately after they found him.
