Arrest of
Ryan Turner
The U.S. Marshals First
State Fugitive Task Force arrested Ryan Martez Turner, 18 years old,
at 10:00 am on May 4, 2007. Turner was wanted on one count of
Capital Murder and six other felony charges from the Buckingham
County Sheriff’s Office, Charlottesville, Virginia. The alleged
murder occurred on March 9, 2007 in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Approximately two weeks ago, First State Fugitive Task Force Members
received information from the U.S. Marshals Capital Area Regional (CARFTF)
Fugitive Task Force in Alexandria, VA that Turner may be in the
Wilmington, Delaware area. This morning, after a brief investigation
and surveillance, Turner was seen exiting a residence in the 200
block of Delamore Place, Wilmington by Task Force Officers from the
U.S. Marshals Service, Delaware Probation and Parole, New Castle
County Police Department, and the Wilmington Police Department.
After he made eye contact with Task Force Officers, Turner attempted
to run and was quickly arrested without further incident.
Turner was immediately transported to the Wilmington Police
Department for his arraignment and extradition hearing pending his
return to Virginia. |
