Terris Olive, aka T-Bird, was captured just before noon outside a Red Roof Inn in Mansfield after the Massachusetts State Police Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section received a tip he could be holed up there, authorities said. Surveillance video around 11:30 a.m. showed him stepping out of his motel room for a smoke, and police quickly arrested him without incident.
Investigators said Oliver killed 19-year-old Atari Felton in the Bronx with another man in 2002.
The US Attorney for New York's Southern District said Oliver and Ricardo Ayala killed Felton during a dispute over 280 grams of crack, cocaine, heroin, and marijuana. Police arrested Ayala at a New York Red Roof Inn last year, officials said.
The duo is charged with one count of murder in furtherance of drug trafficking, which carries a maximum sentence of death and a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years in prison, and one count of murder through the use of a firearm, which carries a maximum sentence of death and a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison, per federal sentencing guidelines.
