US Marshals Join Hunt for Madison Murder Suspect

Madison, Wisconsin (WMTV) – Federal agents joined the manhunt for one of the suspects in last summer’s murder in Madison.

The Madison Police Department said late Tuesday afternoon that the U.S. Marshals Service had been enlisted to find those responsible for the crimes of Charvis Blue, who is wanted for first-degree manslaughter.

The MPD statement did not indicate whether the involvement of authorities indicated investigators believed Blue, 29, had left the area. But her Aquille Lowe, one of the other suspects in the case, was found in Ohio about two weeks after the July 22 murder.

A third suspect, Jakyra Peeples, was arrested in late August. Lowe, 28, and her 22-year-old Peoples were also charged with first-degree murder (participants in the crime). Peeples’ trial begins her September, and Lowe’s status is set for her conference next month.

They are all accused in the shooting death of Laron Bynum last year. MPD reported that Bynum had suffered multiple gunshot wounds when officers found him in his vehicle near the intersection of Vahlen St. and his N. Sherman Ave. Paramedics attempted life-saving measures, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

MPD is asking anyone who finds Blue to call 911. Anyone with information about the incident or his whereabouts is asked to call Madison Area Crime Stoppers at 608-266-6014 or submit a tip online at p3tips.com.
