Task Force Arrests Woman Suspected of Homicide

On the evening of July 19th, 2007 members of the East Metro Fugitive Task Force (EMFTF) assisted by officers from the Duluth, MN police department (DPD) and investigators from Harvey, IL police department (HPD) arrested Latrice Miller. Miller was wanted on a warrant from Cook County, IL for a weapons violation. Miller was also wanted for questioning by HPD for her involvement in a homicide in their city.

Based on information from members of the Great Lakes Regional Fugitive Task Force (GLRFTF), HPD detectives traveled to Minnesota and met with EMFTF members in Duluth. EMFTF members developed information Miller was in a house in the city of Duluth. EMFTF, DPD and HPD detectives located Miller and arrested her without incident. Miller was transported to DPD and interviewed by HPD detectives about her involvement in the homicide.

Based on the information obtained by HPD detectives, a warrant was issued for Miller over the weekend for Homicide. Miller is currently pending extradition to Cook County Illinois for her warrants.

The EMFTF is sponsored by the U.S. Marshals in the District of Minnesota. EMFTF includes officers from the Ramsey County Sheriff’s office, Minnesota Department of Corrections, Housing and Urban Development Office of the Inspector General, Minneapolis Police Department, Hennepin County Parole and Probation and the Social Security Office of the Inspector General.
