PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- District Attorney Larry Krasner announced the arrest of the first of 12 fugitives wanted for murders in South and Southwest Philadelphia.

He was wanted in connection to the murder of 25-year-old Theo James on September 23 on the 5200 block of Chester Avenue.

Officials hope the public will come forward with additional tips leading to the arrest of more fugitives.
