OHIO — Amin Walker, 23, was arrested today by the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force (NOVFTF), which is led by the US Marshals.

Walker was wanted by the Cleveland Heights Police Department for aggravated murder and robbery in relation to a fatal shooting earlier this month.

According to the Cleveland Heights Police Department, officers responded to a home in the 3500 block of Randolph Road around 3:00 a.m. on January 4, 2025.

When they arrived, they discovered Edith Moore, 74, who had suffered a gunshot wound to the head. She was pronounced dead on the scene.

An 18-year-old man was also discovered with a gunshot wound in the leg, but his injuries were not life-threatening.

Walker and a 16-year-old boy were identified as suspects in the shooting, prompting warrants for their arrest.

Cleveland Heights police had previously arrested the 16-year-old suspect, but Walker remained at large until today.

Members of the NOVFTF apprehended him at a home in Cleveland’s 1000 block of East 77th Street.

“This violent fugitive posed a threat to our community and our officers worked relentlessly over the past several days to arrest him and take him off the street,” according to U.S. Marshal Pete Elliott. “The Cleveland Heights Police Department deserves credit for their great work in identifying the suspects in this case and assisting our task force with the arrest.”

The Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force encourages anyone with information on wanted fugitives to call 1-866-4WANTED (1-866-492-6833) or leave a tip online.

Tipsters can remain anonymous, and reward money is available.

The NOVFTF – Cleveland Division is made up of various law enforcement agencies, including the US Marshals Service, Cleveland Police Department, Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Office, Ohio State Highway Patrol, and several local police departments.
