FBI – Most Wanted List Suspect Killed by Officers

(The AEGIS Alliance) – The FBI tracked down a man they believed to be one of the United States Top Ten Most Wanted Fugitives.  They tracked him down to a motel in North Carolina. Agents shot and killed him there on Wednesday.

The armed suspect at the Raleigh suburb of Apex is going to be identified by state medical examiners. He is believed to be Greg Alyn Carlson, age 47, according to the FBI’s North Carolina office in a press release. Authorities stated he was wanted for connections with multiple sexual assaults, including sexual assault and burglary in Los Angeles during the fall of last year.

When an FBI spokeswoman was asked whether the man exchanged gunfire with the agents, she did not respond. Police Captain Mitch McKinney of Apex stated his officers had been contacted following the FBI raid to secure the scene of the incident. The Police Captain said he does not have any information about the shooting.

“Agents approached the room and tried to take Carlson into custody. Following an altercation over a gun, Carlson was shot to death by FBI agents,” Assistant director of the FBI’s Los Angeles office, Paul Delacourt said during a press conference statement.

The FBI says that Mr. Carlson was linked by DNA to multiple sexual assaults that date back to 2003. Previously he had been tracked to Alabama, Florida, and South Carolina, according to the FBI.

Mr. Carlson committed burglary on July, 2017, in which he made an attempt to sexual assault a woman while holding a weapon, said Authorities.

Back in September of last year, Carlson was charged with assault with an intent to commit rape, burglary, and assault with a deadly weapon, he was arrested by Los Angeles police.

Bond for Carlson was posted and he was released, then fled the state to Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. The FBI its investigators believed he fled in a car in possession of a stolen gun and a significant amount of money.

On November 22 he was seen in Hoover, Alabama, which ended up leading the police on a high speed chase, but officers had called off the chase because of dangers to the public.

Mr. Carlson was also spotted in Jacksonville, Florida on November 28, and then Daytona beach a couple days later.
