CaribWorldNews, WASHINGTON, D.C., Weds. April 16, 2008:
U.S. Marshals are offering a reward of $25,000 for the capture of a Jamaican national, who is wanted for the double murders of a young South Florida couple.
David James Clarke, alias `Biggs` or `Big Boy,` has now been added to the Marshals’ 15 Most Wanted Fugitive list after the bodies of Chris Thompson and Cassandra Williams were discovered stuffed in the trunk of a car.
U.S. authorities allege that on June 16, 2007, Clarke, 26, and two other assailants, Clinton Dinnall and Anthony Bennett, waited for the couple at a home in Lauderhill, Fla., and brutally shot and killed them.
According to witnesses, Cassandra Williams allegedly pleaded that she was a mother and had a 5-year-old son, but her pleas were answered with gunshots. The alleged assassins then stuffed the couple’s bodies in the truck of a car and abandoned the vehicle in Sunrise, Fla., where authorities made the discovery.
Bennett and Dinnall were arrested a few weeks later and charged with first-degree murder but Clarke remains on the lam. He is described as six feet tall, of medium-brown complexion and weighing in at 210 pounds. Authorities also say he may or may not have dreadlocks and normally wears a beard.
Yesterday he was added to the 15 Most Wanted Fugitive list.
`Being added to the Marshals’ 15 Most Wanted list is a wake-up call to all fugitives like Clarke to put them on notice that it’s only a matter of time before we come knocking,` commented U.S. Marshal Christina Pharo of the Southern District of Florida. `Our reputation of being the best in fugitive apprehension can be backed up with results, and we are hoping to add Clarke’s apprehension to the numbers.`
Anyone with information about David Clarke’s whereabouts should contact their nearest U.S. Marshals Service office or the agency’s toll-free number 1-800-336-0102. Clarke reportedly has relatives in both South Florida and Jamaica and has a criminal history including violent offenses and drug trafficking. - CaribWorldNews.com
