Seattle Police say a man wanted for a 2020 Houston, Texas murder was arrested last week at a Capitol Hill apartment building.
SPD reports James Handy, 36, was arrested by Seattle Gun Violence Reduction Unit detectives working with the U.S. Marshals Pacific Northwest Violent Offender Task Force after being tracked to a Harvard Ave E address.
Handy had a warrant out of Texas where he has been charged in a 2020 murder.
Police found a loaded handgun on the suspect when he was arrested and found another firearm when searching his residence at another location in the city.
Handy was being held on $1 million bail at the Maleng Regional Justice Center.

Just another nice guy making our neighborhood his home away from home. I wonder why so many like him are attracted to our locale?
Glenn, please retire to the villages already.
Literally for work thru a travel team y’all just so happen to need real workers out there so he came thru nothing better then the city h-tine baby
We seem to attract a lot of people with felony warrants from other states. I would like some reporting on why he fled to Seattle? Did he have connections here or was this just a great place to hide in plain sight because it is lawless and there are lots of enablers handing out free stuff?
See link above, the vast majority of crimes are never solved, so there’s murders and whatevers walking around all over the place as it turns out. It’s not like in the movies where you have to be a genius to not get caught apparently.
For work duh can’t work where your wanted
