U.S. Marshals search for Devontae Bracken, wanted for armed robbery



MILWAUKEE -- U.S. Marshals are looking for 21-year-old Devontae Bracken.

Bracken is charged with armed robbery. His case was supposed to go trial in October but Bracken disappeared.

A criminal complaint says on February 23rd, Bracken and an accomplice robbed a woman at gunpoint on Riverwoods Drive in Milwaukee. The woman's purse, cash, cell phone, ID cards and other personal belongings were taken.

The criminal complaint says the men tried to take the woman's car, too, but couldn't figure out her car's start button feature. The woman's husband, a Milwaukee Police lieutenant, saw the armed suspects and fired at least one shot. The suspects ran, but the complaint says Bracken was caught less than an hour later.

U.S. Marshals say Bracken was released on bail and disappeared a couple months later. They say he may be on the city's north side.

Bracken is 5'10'' and weighs about 145 pounds. He has a tattoo on his chest. Anyone with information on his whereabouts should call U.S. Marshals at 414-297-3707.
