Washington The U.S. Marshals
Service added alleged murderer and kidnapper
Wesnel Isaac to its
15 Most Wanted fugitive list today.
A documented gang member and alleged
enforcer for the Haitian street gang Zoe Pound, Isaac is wanted
by the Lee County Sheriffs Office in Florida for multiple
violent offenses including triple homicide, attempted homicide,
kidnapping, home invasion and felon in possession of a firearm.
The Lee County Sheriffs Office requested the assistance of the
U.S. Marshals Service Florida/Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task
Force and in addition to the local warrants, a federal warrant
for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution was issued in the
Middle District of Florida.
Isaac has a violent reputation and
many members of the community have been unwilling to cooperate
with law enforcement in locating the fugitive. He is considered
a dangerous fugitive and a threat to the community. A
co-defendant, Loubert Jules, in the 2007 triple homicide
investigation was sentenced in August 2010 to three life terms
by the 20th Judicial Circuit Court in Lee County, Florida.
The 15 Most Wanted list exists to
focus the full investigate resources of the United States
Marshals Service on locating and apprehending violent fugitives
such as Isaac, said U.S. Marshals Service Director Stacia A.
Hylton. His alleged crimes represent a clear threat to the
community and immediate danger to anyone who might come into
contact with him. It is imperative we immediately locate and
arrest Isaac.
Authorities believe Isaac may have
fled to Haiti in October 2007 to stay with family members.
However, recent information indicates Isaac may have returned to
the United States in 2010 after the major earthquake in Haiti.
Isaac has an extensive criminal
history dating back to 2003, to include 34 prior arrests for
burglary/larceny, narcotics, failure to appear, probation
violation, resisting arrest and DUI. Given his criminal
background and the offenses he is wanted for, Isaac should be
considered armed and dangerous.
A reward of up to $25,000 is offered
for information leading directly to Isaacs arrest. Anyone with
information is urged to contact the nearest U.S. Marshals office
or the U.S. Marshals Service Communications Center at
1-800-336-0102.
