WASHINGTON (CMC):

United States marshals have added a Jamaican man to their 'Most Wanted' list, offering a US$25,000 reward for information leading to his capture.

A statement issued by the United States authorities said that David Clarke, 26, was on Tuesday placed on the list of 15 most wanted fugitives for the 'heinous' double murders of a South Florida couple on June 16 last year.

Still on the run

According to the release, two other men involved in the shooting deaths were arrested just weeks after the incident and charged with first-degree murder, but Clarke is still on the run.

"Being added to the Marshals' 15 most wanted list is a wake-up call to all fugitives like Clarke to put them on notice that it's only a matter of time before we come knocking," said US Marshal Christina Pharo of the Southern District of Florida.

"Our reputation of being the best in fugitive apprehension can be backed up with results, and we are hoping to add Clarke's apprehension to the numbers."

Officials allege that the three men stuffed Chris Thompson and Cassandra Williams in a car trunk after shooting them and then abandoned the vehicle in Sunrise, Florida, where authorities made the discovery.
