Massive manhunt underway for "very dangerous" men wanted in drug case
MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- A manhunt is underway to round up the five individuals federally indicted in a drug and money laundering case that remain at large. Their suspected drug ring has been toppled and authorities say their drug bosses are behind bars -- so where are they?
FOX6 News is told the major players in the drug, money laundering and homicide case have been caught -- and authorities vow to catch the five who haven't yet been captured.
There were initially eight individuals still at large. We're told three of them have been picked up.
The U.S. Marshals say the five individuals still at large are their newest targets. They include:
"All these guys are now recognized as fugitives," Deputy U.S. Marshal Brian Nodes said.
Authorities believe these men served as foot soldiers -- helping to deliver cocaine and other drugs around the city of Milwaukee.
The suspected kingpin, Kevin R. Arms and nearly two dozen others are behind bars.
The U.S. Marshals Office is warning that these men on the run are dangerous.
They say Roger Walker and Marquis Walker are brothers. Their last known address was near 27th Street.
"We expect them to be together -- to be running together," Nodes said.
Out of all five men, U.S. Marshals are most worried about Ronnie Reid.
"His criminal history is the largest out of all of them," Nodes said.
U.S. Marshals say he is familiar on Milwaukee's north side.
"Very violent individual. Known to carry a gun," Nodes said.
Marshals believe all five men are hiding out in Milwaukee.
With their suspected drug ring toppled, Marshals say getting them into custody is a priority.
"They're going to get desperate. and when people get desperate they usually do stupid things, and that's what we're hoping to avoid," Nodes said.
If you have seen any of these men, U.S. Marshals want to hear from you. Tips can be anonymous.
