A Jamaican fugitive who is being sought in connection with the slaying of four people at a birthday party in Los Angeles two months ago has been added to the FBI's most wanted list.
A reward of up to US$100,000 is being offered for information leading to the arrest of Marlon Jones, who the FBI said should be considered armed and extremely dangerous.
Los Angeles prosecutors have filed four counts of murder against Jones for a wild gun battle that erupted in a house on October 15 after he shot and killed a rival Jamaican gang member.
Three others were killed and 10 wounded in the ensuing gun fight in the house that was being used as a restaurant.
The FBI said putting Jones on the most wanted list provides publicity that has led to the capture of more than 150 suspects with the help of the public.
Los Angeles police have obtained a warrant for Jones's arrest, but he is believed to have fled California.
In addition to ties to California, he has connections to New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Tennessee, The Virgin Islands and Jamaica.
Jones, who uses several aliases and birth dates, is believed to be in the U.S. illegally. He reportedly has a violent history and is a member of an East Coast Jamaican gang known for illegally selling ganja (marijuana).
