A Black woman on the FBI’s Top Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list has been found and arrested in Florida.
According to reports obtained by 11Alive, Roper allegedly fired multiple shots at a car, hitting two women. One of the shooting victims died from the gunshots.
Authorities charged Roper with second-degree murder, armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon. However, she managed to escape police custody for years until now.
