Cincinnati, OH - On 07/09/09 at approximately 6:30 pm, the Southern Ohio Fugitive
Apprehension Strike Team (SOFAST) arrested 24 year-old Gerald Wilson at an
associate’s residence located on East McMicken Avenue in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Wilson is accused of shooting and killing Kenneth Gaines and Mark Davenport
at the 1200 Block of Lincoln Avenue in Cincinnati, Ohio at approximately
11:00 pm on July 3, 2009. Wilson has a lengthy criminal record that includes
multiple convictions for various crimes including felony assaults and
robberies. Chief Deputy United States Marshal Cathy Jones stated “This
emphasizes the importance of Federal and State law enforcement working
collaboratively to get the job done.” On 07/09/09, SOFAST developed information that Wilson was staying with an associate on East McMicken Avenue. Deputies surrounded the complex and made entry into the residence. The strike team caught Wilson attempting to run out the back door of the apartment and arrested him without incident. Wilson was booked into the Hamilton County Justice Center. SOFAST is a multi-jurisdictional task force comprised of the U.S. Marshals, Cincinnati Police Department, Warren Co. Prosecutors Office, U.S. Department of Agriculture OIG, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Butler County Sheriff’s Office and Ohio Adult Parole Authority. U.S. Marshals are the nation’s primary fugitive hunting organization and capture more federal fugitives each year than all other law enforcement agencies combined.
