The U.S. Marshals Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force had a busy morning Thursday and arrested three people who were wanted in separate homicides, with one case dating back to 2017.
Authorities said that the first person arrested Thursday morning was a 30-year-old man who had been on the run from police since 2017 when he and three other individuals broke into Brandon Belleville's home and shot and killed him. Those three others have all been convicted for Belleville's death. The 30-year-old had eluded capture for more than five years before being arrested in Parkersburg, West Virginia. He's awaiting extradition back to Ohio to be arraigned on his charges.
The second person arrested Thursday was a 27-year-old man, authorities said. He was wanted for the April 15 homicide of Devonte Brown, who was shot outside a Dollar General store in Garfield Heights. The 27-year-old was arrested at a home in the 4600 block of Donovan Drive, about a mile from where the fatal shooting occurred.
