the owner was shot multiple times. Three suspects fled the scene shortly after
stealing an undisclosed amount of items from the jewelry store.

At the request of York City Police Department, the U.S. Marshals Service
Fugitive Task Force in the Middle District of Pennsylvania (M/PA) began
investigating the whereabouts of Brewer. The Task Force developed information
that Brewer may be in New York. An investigative lead was sent to the USMS New
York-New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force, who began investigating the
whereabouts of Brewer.
During the early morning hours of June 20, 2013, members of the USMS New
York-New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force located and arrested Brewer at a
location near the intersection of Wilson Street and Bedford Avenue in Brooklyn,
NY. The fugitive was taken into custody without incident.
Brewer was turned over to Rikers Island, NYC, for processing and court
proceedings concerning his extradition to York County.
United States Marshal Martin J. Pane stated, The Fugitive Unit worked
tirelessly on bringing this fugitive to justice. A case such as this one where
the use of such violence against innocent victims occurs is a high priority for
the Marshals Service and its Fugitive Taskforce partners. It is my sincere hope
that the victims family can gain some measure of comfort knowing that the 3rd
suspect is finally off the street.
The U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force in M/PA was assisted by personnel from the
USMS New York-New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force in apprehending Brewer.
The concept of all USMS-led fugitive task forces is to seek out and arrest the
nations most dangerous offenders.
