Wisconsin's Most Wanted: Davonte Jackson in custody
MILWAUKEE - UPDATE: Davonte Jackson has been taken into custody. He was arrested for an unrelated incident.
The original Wisconsin's Most Wanted report is available below.
U.S. Marshals said, days before Christmas 2019, someone stole gifts meant for kids – and a fingerprint led investigators back to 30-year-old Davonte Jackson.
Jackson is wanted for several charges including four counts of armed robbery, bail jumping and domestic abuse. Prosecutors said he and others went to a home near 36th and Toronto, just north of Capitol Drive in Milwaukee.
"Knocked on the door, female answered the door, and he allegedly had a gun on him," explained the U.S. Marshal on the case.

Prosecutors said the group made their way inside and pointed guns at the children.
"You have Christmas gifts around the tree, so Davonte and the other guys, they end up stealing and taking some of the items, some of the gifts," the marshal said. "The woman said, ‘Hey, this is my kids’ Christmas gifts.' He used some other profane words, he said, ‘I don’t care,’ and then they left."
