They caught Blue thanks to an anonymous tip.



Members of the Marshals Fugitive Task Force, Chester Police, and Delaware County Criminal Investigative Division (CID) investigators surrounded a home in the 2900 block of West 12th Street where they believed Blue to be hiding.

Marshals then entered the home and, after a brief struggle, Blue was placed into custody.



Investigators recovered a loaded semi-automatic .45 caliber handgun.

Authorities believe the home belongs to a male associate of Blue.

Blue was wanted for a murder at 58th and Thompson streets in West Philadelphia that took place on January 4, 2017. Authorities said, following a verbal argument, Blue shot a 29-year-old man in the neck and then fled the scene.
