FBI's Most Wanted Fugitive Arrested in Florida

KaShawn Nicola Roper, the newest addition to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list, was arrested Wednesday morning during a traffic stop in High Springs, Florida. The arrest came just hours after her inclusion on the list and a $1 million reward offer for information leading to her capture.

Roper is wanted in connection with a fatal shooting that occurred in Kansas City, Missouri on August 23, 2020. Authorities allege she opened fire on an occupied car, killing 23-year-old Jazmyn Henrion and injuring another person. She was charged by the Jackson County Prosecutor's Office with second-degree murder and other offenses in September 2020.

According to a statement from the High Springs Police Department, officers conducted the traffic stop at approximately 10:21 a.m. EDT after receiving tips following Tuesday's FBI announcement. The arrest was made by local police with assistance from multiple federal and state agencies, including the Alachua County Sheriff's Office and the U.S. Marshals Service.

FBI Director Kash Patel told Fox News Digital that hours after adding Roper to the Ten Most Wanted list, tips poured in leading to her swift apprehension. This marks a significant achievement for the FBI, as eight of their most wanted fugitives have been captured in just over a year, more than double the previous four years combined.
