U.S. Marshals in NY Capture NC Murder Suspect

Raleigh, NC – The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force, following a collateral lead from the USMS Carolinas Regional Fugitive Task Force, with added assistance from the USMS Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force, arrested in Brooklyn, New York, a man wanted by the Kinston Police Department for multiple charges stemming from a 2024 shooting death in Kinston, North Carolina.

Bryson Bradley, 21, wanted for the Sept. 23, 2024, murder of 25-year-old Korie Williams, is charged with first-degree murder, three counts of attempted first-degree murder and three counts of discharge of a weapon into an occupied dwelling and three counts of felonious assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill.  Bryson has been actively concealing his location since the incident in 2024.  

Bradley will be processed and sent back to North Carolina to face the charges against him.

“The U.S. Marshals Service has some of the most tenacious investigators which was evident here by the relentless pursuit for this fugitive,” said U.S. Marshal for the Eastern District of North Carolina Glenn M. McNeill Jr.  

The U.S. Marshals have a long history of providing assistance and expertise to other law enforcement agencies in support of fugitive investigations. The success of U.S. Marshals task force initiatives, combined with the outstanding relationships forged with other law enforcement agencies, has led to the formation of permanent fugitive task forces, as well as ad-hoc task forces in response to unique cases that pose immediate threat to the public. In 2025, U.S. Marshals Service-led fugitive task forces arrested over 73,000 federal, state and local fugitives and cleared nearly 88,000 warrants.
