KINGSTON, Jamaica-- A suspect in a double murder, who is wanted in the United States, is believed could be hiding in Jamaica.
The United States Embassy said Thursday that Andre Neverson is wanted for allegedly killing his sister and an ex-girlfriend in 2002, and is believed to have fled the United States and may be residing in Jamaica or another Caribbean island.
It is reported that he may have ties to Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Bahamas, Grenada, St Vincent as well as Canada.
Neverson allegedly shot his sister in the head and stomach on July 8, 2002.
The following day, he allegedly abducted a former girlfriend, who was found dead two days later with a wound to the head. At the time of both murders, he was on parole in the State of New York for attempted murder in the second degree, assault in the first degree and criminal possession of a firearm.
The US Embassy in a release said that in November 2002, Neverson, armed with a handgun, allegedly entered the home of another ex-girlfriend in an attempt to visit his daughter. The woman's brother interrupted the unannounced visit, and Neverson fled with no further incident. The New York City Police Department searched the area for the felon, but never located him.
Neverson has been classified as one of the US Marshals Service’s “15 Most Wanted” fugitives. He is also wanted by the US Department of Homeland Security Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Division of Parole for New York State and the NYPD.
Neverson, 49, is approximately six-feet-two-inches-tall and about 240 pounds (last reported). He has brown eyes, black hair and a muscular build. He is a native of Trinidad and Tobago.
"He has a violent criminal history with a pronounced pattern of violence toward women. Neverson speaks several languages and is known to always carry a firearm. He usually keeps his head shaved but has been known to wear wigs to disguise himself. Investigators believe Neverson is computer savvy," the release said.
Due to his past criminal history and the nature of his alleged crimes, Neverson is considered armed and dangerous.
A reward of up to US$25,000 is being offered for information leading directly to Neverson’s arrest. Anyone with information is urged to contact the nearest US Marshals Service office, American Embassy/Consulate, or call the US Marshals Service Communications centre at 1-800-336-0102.
