South Carolina Murder Suspect Arrested in Cincinnati
 
James M. Wahlrab, United States Marshal for the Southern District of Ohio, announces the arrest of Edmond Luis Goodman, AKA “Dewey Goodman”. Goodman was wanted by the Williamsburg County Sheriff’s Department in connection with the 7-18-2008 murder of Jason White, 26 years old. The United States Marshals Service’s Southern Ohio Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team (SOFAST), consists of Cincinnati Police Department, Hamilton County Sheriffs Department, Drug Enforcement Administration, Lockland Police Department, Butler County Sheriffs Department, Ohio Adult Parole Authority, Warren County Prosecutors Office, and Department Of Agriculture Inspector Generals Office.

On the night of July 18, 2008, the suspect and victim were at a gathering with numerous suspected drug dealers, when it is believed that Edmund Goodman got into an altercation with the victim. During the altercation, Goodman brandished a firearm and shot the victim in the face. Goodman then fled South Carolina in the victim’s car. The vehicle was later located in the Baltimore, Maryland area. Goodman was located in the Baltimore area, but managed to elude authorities.

At approximately 6:00pm on October 10, 2008, information was generated that placed Goodman at 659 Delhi Ave., Cincinnati, Ohio. SOFAST surrounded the residence and affected the arrest without incident. Goodman is currently being housed at the Hamilton County Justice Center where he will face extradition proceedings back to South Carolina.

The U.S. Marshals Service is America’s oldest federal law enforcement agency and arrest more fugitives each year than all other law enforcement agencies combined.
