Harrisburg, PA – United States Marshal Martin J. Pane announced today that the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) Fugitive Task Force arrested Johnny Garriga, a 23-year old man, in York, Pennsylvania.
Garriga was being sought for a homicide that occurred on December
26, 2013 in Brooklyn, New York. The incident left an individual dead after
sustaining gunshot wounds. On December 27, the New York City Police Department
(NYPD) requested the assistance of the New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive
Task Force (NY/NJ RFTF) in locating and apprehending Garriga.
NY/NJ RFTF members believed that Garriga fled the area to
the York, Pennsylvania region. An investigative lead was sent to the Middle
District of Pennsylvania Fugitive Task Force (M/PA) for assistance in locating
Garriga.
On December 30, Garriga was arrested without incident by
M/PA in the 200 block of South Queen Street in York, Pennsylvania. Garriga was
turned over to local authorities for processing.
United States Marshal Martin J. Pane stated, “Our top priority
is to arrest violent offenders, especially those who use guns against our
citizens. This arrest takes a murder suspect off the street and it is my
sincere hope that this will bring the victims family some measure of justice.”
The USMS worked jointly in this investigation with officers
from the York City Police Department, York County Sheriff’s Office,
Pennsylvania State Police Fugitive Unit, New York City Police Department, and
the NY/NJ RFTF. The concept of all USMS-led fugitive task forces is to seek out
and arrest the nation’s most dangerous offenders.
