What we know:

The 30-year-old Milwaukee man has been off the grid since March.

Toombs was convicted of a federal gun charge in 2021. When Toombs finished his sentence, he was put on supervised release. The Milwaukee man had been attending court-mandated classes and checking in with law enforcement when authorities say he started to slip up.

What they're saying:

"At some point, he started having issues with testing positive for illegal drugs," the U.S. Marshal on the case said.

Around that same time, U.S. Marshals say a woman came forward claiming Toombs had been threatening her. When she told him she was going to police, authorities say he came back at her with another threat.

"He said something as far as ‘that’s ok, I’m going to go out with a bang,’" the marshal said.

Dig deeper:

Investigators say the Milwaukee man is known to have a long gun. He sometimes uses the names "Dashawn" and "Xavier." Toombs is 6’5" and weighs 259 pounds. 

"He has braids, about 6’5". So, he kind of sticks out in a crowd," the investigator explained. "He should be very recognizable."
