Dallas murder suspect arrested near San Antonio
A man wanted for killing another man in Dallas was captured near San Antonio while allegedly trying to flee the country.
DALLAS - A task force arrested a 17-year-old fugitive in Dallas who was wanted for killing a San Antonio Sonic manager because he wouldn't let her pay for food with fake money.
The teenager on the Texas 10 Most Wanted Fugitives List was taken into custody at a Pleasant Grove apartment complex on Tuesday as part of a multi-agency operation.
Adiah Roberson, 17, was on the run for three months after being accused of murdering a San Antonio Sonic manager.
Investigators learned Roberson was hiding out at the corner of Pleasant Drive and CF Hawn Freeway.
Around 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, the U.S. Marshals North Texas Fugitive Task Force arrested Roberson in the apartment parking lot. She was booked into the Dallas County jail on the charges of murder and forgery.
On July 7, San Antonio police say Roberson shot and killed 33-year-old Daniel Shrewsbury following an argument.
Roberson and two others were denied food because they were using fake money.
Police say as Shrewsbury tried to take a picture of their license plate, 27-year-old Joshua Joseph told him he was going to get shot.
That’s when police say Roberson exited the vehicle and opened fire on Shrewsbury, who died on scene.
Joseph was arrested in August and charged with murder.
"None of it should’ve happened the way it happened," Joseph told the FOX affiliate in San Antonio as he was taken to jail. "I don’t wish death on nobody."
A $5,000 reward was offered for any information leading to Roberson's capture. U.S. Marshals confirmed that a tip led investigators to the Dallas apartment complex.
Investigators believe Roberson went from San Antonio to Austin and then to Dallas. It’s still unclear how long she had been staying in Dallas.
Roberson’s bond is set at $520,000. She is waiting to be transferred down to San Antonio.
