FBI SEEKS PUBLIC'S ASSISTANCE IN LOCATING FUGITIVE FROM MINNESOTA

John G. Raucci, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in Mississippi, announced as follows:

The Jackson Division of the FBI is asking for the public's assistance in locating a fugitive who is believed to be living in the Jackson, Mississippi area. TONY MARTIN CAINE, JR., age 22, was charged with murder and aggravated robbery in a shooting that occurred in Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota, on December 19, 2004, over an alleged drug deal.

On January 6, 2005, a federal complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota, charging CAINE with leaving the state of Minnesota with the intent to avoid prosecution for the crime of Murder in the Second Degree. A federal warrant for his arrest was issued that same day.
CAINE is described as being a black male, 5'10" tall and weighing approximately 140 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes. [Photos available via email.]

This matter is being investigated by FBI Agents and the Jackson Violent Crimes Task Force, which consists of officers and agents from the FBI, the Jackson Police Department, the Mississippi Highway Safety Patrol, the Hinds County Sheriff's Department, the Rankin County Sheriff's Department and the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics.

The Minneapolis Division of the FBI is offering a reward for information leading to the arrest of TONY MARTIN CAINE, JR. Anyone with any information concerning TONY MARTIN CAINE, JR. is asked to call the Jackson Division FBI office at 601-948-5000.
