New Roads Murder Suspect Arrested in Dallas
Dallas, TX - A three month
search for the most wanted man in Point Coupee Parish came to an end
this morning at a Dallas apartment complex. A U.S. Marshals Service
Task Force based in Dallas located Brandon Brue, 24, of New Roads,
hiding behind a couch at the Murdeaux Villas Apartments.
Brue is wanted in the connection with
the murder of his ex-wife and the attempted murder of another man.
The Middle Louisiana Fugitive Task Force, working with the Point
Coupee Parish Sheriff’s Office, has been searching for Brue since
the June 6th shooting incident. During the investigation,
investigators developed information that Brue was hiding out with
friends at the Dallas apartments. Task Force investigators here
requested assistance from the Task Force in Dallas, who ultimately
arrested Brue. Brue was booked into a Dallas jail awaiting
extradition back to New Roads.
“This joint investigation was very intensive and thorough. The
investigators from Point Coupee and our task force followed every
lead and left no stone unturned. Today this fugitives luck ran out
and his time behind bars began.” said U.S. Marshal Carey Jenkins.
The Middle Louisiana Fugitive Task Force, coordinated by the U.S.
Marshals Service, is a multi-agency task force that targets persons
wanted for violent crimes, narcotic offenses, and sex offenders in
the Capitol area and surrounding Parishes. Contributing agencies are
the East and West Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Offices, the Louisiana
Attorney General’s Office, and the Louisiana State Probation and
Parole.
