Who Is Terry A.D. Strickland? Double Homicide Suspect On FBI's Ten Most Wanted List Captured In Texas
A tip from an anonymous El Paso, Texas, resident has led to the arrest of a double homicide suspect on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list Sunday morning. Terry A.D. Strickland was nearly six months on the run.
The 24-year-old was arrested during a traffic stop near Woodrow Bean Trans Mountain Road and Dyer Street, Douglas Lindquist, special agent in charge of the FBI's El Paso division, reportedly said.
Strickland was placed on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list on Dec. 15, five months after he purportedly shot and killed two men during a fight at a Milwaukee home on July 17, and was charged with two counts of first degree intentional homicide, according to CNN affiliate WITI. The victims were 39-year-old Michael Reed and 38-year-old Maurice Brown. Milwaukee Police Chief Ed Flynn said Brown had tried to interrupt during the fight and Reed was a bystander.
FBI had offered a reward of $100,000 for information leading to Strickland's arrest, CNN affiliate WDJT reported.
An interview regarding a tip on the public access line was conducted by FBI Special Agents on Saturday. The information acquired from this interview involved a clue that provided a possibility of Strickland temporarily living in El Paso. The FBI and other partner agencies like El Paso Violent Crime Task Force and FBI Milwaukee kept on searching for clues throughout Saturday night and also into the early morning hours of Sunday and then arrested Strickland on that day itself.
Strickland was the 512th person to be placed on the FBI's Top Ten Most Wanted list, and the 480th to be captured. He was the fourth captured by FBI El Paso, according to FBI officials.
Lindquist reportedly said: "I am proud of the continuous hard work of our agents and law enforcement partners in quickly apprehending this dangerous and violent fugitive.
