# Jamaican fugitive faces immigration charges

The Associated Press

Authorities in South Florida say they've captured a Jamaican fugitive connected to a 2008 homicide.

The U.S. Attorney's Office reports that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested 33-year-old Omar Oneal Lewis Monday in Miami. Officials say Lewis is considered the sixth most wanted fugitive in Jamaica. At the same time, ICE agents also arrested 25-year-old Michael Montaque.

Both men have been charged with illegally re-entering the U.S. after being deported. Under U.S. law, Lewis faces up to two years in prison and Montaque, a convicted felon, faces up to 10.

Besides the charges they face in the U.S., ICE officials say they will eventually be deported and will likely face additional charges in Jamaica.
