Miami, FL – The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force (CARFTF) and the Florida/Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force (FCRFTF) announce the arrest of an attempted homicide suspect wanted out of Washington, D.C.
Jhoandry B. Canelon, 20, was wanted for attempted murder due to his direct involvement in a stabbing that occurred in June of 2024. Canelon is alleged to have stabbed the victim multiple times before leaving the scene.
Warrants were issued out of the Superior Court of Washington D.C. in November 2024. Once warrants were in hand, D.C. Metropolitan Police contacted the CARFTF and requested assistance in locating and arresting Canelon. In late January, CARFTF investigators developed information that Canelon was utilizing a vehicle in the Miami, Florida area. On January 28, FCRFTF investigators arrested Canelon in the 300 block of NE 54th Street in Miami. During the arrest, Canelon was non-compliant and attempted to resist arrest. Canelon was ultimately taken into custody after being tased.
Canelon was transported to the federal courthouse in Miami where he appeared before a judge and awaits extradition back to Washington, D.C. USMS officials have also been in contact with Immigration and Customs Enforcement in reference to Canelon’s immigration status.
The USMS CARFTF began operations in June 2004. The CARFTF has partnership agreements with 14 federal and 87 state, and local agencies and operates in Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia. The CARFTF has apprehended more than 102,000 fugitives since its inception.
