U. S. Marshals in Norfolk, Virginia,
arrested Michael Grashawn Key, a 20 year old, this afternoon at The
Oaks apartments in Norfolk. Key was wanted for the August 26, 2007,
robbery and murder of LaQuan Carmichael. Carmichael was shot during
an apparent robbery attempt at the Bristol Downs apartments located
on Carmichael Road in Montgomery, Alabama.
“The Gulf Coast Regional Task Force has worked with Montgomery
Police Detectives since the murder. During the course of the
investigation, we developed information that Key had left the
Montgomery area and traveled to Norfolk, Virginia. We immediately
passed this information on to the U. S. Marshals in Norfolk”, said
U. S. Marshal Jesse Seroyer. “The Marshals in Norfolk did an
outstanding job, they spent a lot of hours conducting surveillance
to locate the fugitive, and once they determined which apartment he
was hiding in they moved in. Key was arrested without incident and
placed in the Norfolk City Jail awaiting extradition to Montgomery,
Alabama. No matter where you run, we will put Marshals and State and
Local Officers on your trail. I cannot emphasize enough the value of
cooperation between law enforcement agencies to locate and arrest
violent fugitives”, Marshal Seroyer added.
In addition to the Michael Key case, the Gulf Coast Regional
Fugitive Task force worked with local law enforcement the past two
weeks on two other cases and made arrests. Latricia Thomas wanted
for Capital Murder of her boyfriend, Roger Penning, and Rondarrell
Williams and Calvin McMillian were wanted for Capital Murder in the
robbery shooting of Bryan Martin outside the Wal-Mart in Millbrook,
Alabama. Cooperation between agencies has been the reason these
individuals were apprehended quickly. We are very proud to be a part
of this effort”, said Marshal Seroyer.
Last year, U. S. Marshals task forces arrested more than 27,000
state and local fugitives on felony charges.
