FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FOR INFORMATION CONTACT: April 08, 2008 Doug Farrell, Public Affairs Officer (504) 589-3148   California Double Murder Suspect Arrested in New Orleans by U.S. Marshals Task Force   On the morning of April 8, 2008, members of the U.S. Marshals Crescent Star Fugitive Task Force (CSFTF) arrested Terrance Brewer at the home of an acquaintance in the 2600 block of Willow Street. He was wanted in connection with a double homicide that occurred on March 16, 2008, in Concordia, California. Brewer, 19, was booked into the Orleans Parish Prison and is waiting extradition to California. Concordia Police Department officials allege that Brewer shot and killed two individuals during a drug deal gone bad. They developed information that Brewer had left California and came to New Orleans to flee prosecution. They requested the assistance of the U.S. Marshals Task Force here in New Orleans in locating the fugitive. Investigative leads developed by local investigators led to the location and eventual arrest of Brewer. This is the third homicide suspect arrested by U.S. Marshals this week that the Crescent Star Fugitive Task Force had direct involvement in. Edward Augustine was arrested in Denver, Colorado, Eldrin George was arrested in Duluth, Georgia (both on New Orleans Police Department warrants), and Brewer was arrested today. U.S. Marshal Michael Credo stated, “These recent cases highlight how well the task force concept works; federal and local agencies working together and on a national level to bring dangerous criminals to justice.” The U.S. Marshals sponsored Crescent Star Fugitive Task Force includes law enforcement officers from the New Orleans Police Department, Orleans Parish Criminal Sheriff’s Office, St. Charles Parish Sheriff’s Office, Louisiana Probation and Parole, St. Bernard Parish Sheriff’s Office, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Border Patrol, Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office, Bogalusa Police Department, Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Social Security Office of the Inspector General. Other area law enforcement agencies also assist CSFTF in fugitive investigations on a case by case basis.
