Three men are on the Pennsylvania State Police’s 10 Most Wanted list for crimes committed in Western Pennsylvania.
This summer’s arrest of one of the fugitives updated the list.
Jimmy Carlton Mill Hall Borough police were seeking Henry Jr. for the rape of a minor. Early in July, U.S. Marshals assigned to the Fugitive Task Force responded to a location near Parkesburg, West Virginia, upon receiving information about Henry’s employment there.
“As police arrived, Henry reportedly suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound that proved fatal. The Clinton County District Attorney’s Office declared Henry dead at the scene.
Michael Edward Akerly, James Garland Watts, and Brandon Eugene Revis are still out on the streets of Western Pennsylvania.
