Unit­ed States (US) law en­force­ment agen­cies are of­fer­ing a US$25,000 re­ward for in­for­ma­tion which may lead to the ar­rest of a Trinida­di­an man who has been want­ed in the US for more than ten years for mur­der­ing his sis­ter and for­mer fi­ancee.A re­lease from the pub­lic af­fairs sec­tion of the US Em­bassy said US au­thor­i­ties be­lieve the 49-year-old fugi­tive, An­dre Nev­er­son, has been liv­ing in the Caribbean since flee­ing the US in 2003.

The re­lease de­scribed Nev­er­son as "armed and dan­ger­ous" and said: "He has a vi­o­lent crim­i­nal his­to­ry with a pro­nounced pat­tern of vi­o­lence to­ward women."Nev­er­son is light-skinned and of African de­scent. He is six foot two inch­es and his last known weight was 240 lbs. He usu­al­ly has a shaved head and has a scar on his fore­head. He is known to wear wigs to dis­guise him­self."Nev­er­son speaks sev­er­al lan­guages and is known to al­ways car­ry a firearm," the re­lease said.

Nev­er­son, who has been on the US Mar­shals Ser­vice's "15 Most Want­ed" list since 2004, served five years in prison for the at­tempt­ed mur­der of his ex-girl­friend's un­cle from 1992 to 1998, when he was re­leased on pa­role.Ac­cord­ing to the US Mar­shals Ser­vices' Web site, in Sep­tem­ber 2000, Nev­er­son re-en­tered the US il­le­gal­ly, us­ing a fake Ja­maican pass­port.

On Ju­ly 8, 2002, he shot his 39-year-old sis­ter Pa­tri­cia dead at the home she shared with him in Crown Heights, Brook­lyn, New York. The day af­ter, he kid­napped his ex-fi­anc�e, Don­na Davis. Her body was found two days lat­er with a gun­shot wound to the head."At the time of both mur­ders, Nev­er­son was on pa­role in the State of New York for at­tempt­ed mur­der in the sec­ond de­gree, as­sault in the first de­gree and crim­i­nal pos­ses­sion of a firearm," the re­lease said.

On No­vem­ber 6, 2002, Nev­er­son al­leged­ly broke in­to the home of an­oth­er ex-girl­friend to at­tempt to vis­it their two-year-old daugh­ter. How­ev­er, he fled af­ter the woman's broth­er in­ter­rupt­ed the unan­nounced vis­it.His last known sight­ing in the US was in New York on Jan­u­ary 3, 2003.In Sep­tem­ber 2005, US in­ves­ti­ga­tors vis­it­ed Trinidad, af­ter Nev­er­son was re­port­ed­ly spot­ted sev­er­al times, in­clud­ing once at a car auc­tion in Diego Mar­tin. He was said to have been liv­ing in Mor­vant.
