U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested an illegal alien on Canada’s Top 25 Most Wanted Fugitives List in Mississippi.
Agents took 30-year-old Adrian Vincent Walker into custody on March 23 at a residence in Tupelo, where they found him illegally possessing a firearm, according to a DHS statement released on Tuesday.
The Toronto Police Service seeks him for first-degree murder and attempted murder in a May 7, 2024, shooting in Toronto’s York district.
He previously served more than three years in a Canadian prison for aggravated assault.
Walker now faces federal charges for illegal entry and illegal possession of a firearm.
“Thanks to the brave men and women of ICE, one of Canada’s most wanted criminals is behind bars. This illegal alien was wanted for a murder in Canada,” Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said.
“He is now facing charges for illegal entry into the U.S. and illegal possession of a firearm. DHS is grateful to our law enforcement officers and partners who took this illegal alien off of our streets and behind bars where he will finally face justice for his crimes.”
The Homeland Security Task Force investigated and prosecuted the case as part of Operation Take Back America.
