Michael Jason Registe, the suspect in the killing of two Columbus State University students 13 months ago, was captured Wednesday on the Caribbean island of St. Maarten after a $100,000 reward was announced a month ago, authorities said.
Registe is wanted in the shooting of Randy Newton Jr., 21, and Bryan Kilgore, 20, in the parking lot of Cross Creek Apartments on July 20, 2007. Both were shot in the head at close range.
The 25-year-old Registe was added to the FBI's Top 10 Most Wanted list last month, when the reward for his capture was raised from $20,000 to $100,000. The FBI and Columbus police said at the time they believed he had fled to the Virgin Islands or elsewhere in the Caribbean.
Numerous tips were received by the FBI after the airing of an "America's Most Wanted" television segment featuring Registe, said Gregory Jones, agent in charge of the FBI in Atlanta.
Jones said Registe was arrested at a guest house shortly after 11 a.m. by St. Maarten police officials in conjunction with the Antilles Director of Public Prosecution and through coordination with the FBI's legal attache in Bridgetown, Barbados.
Registe faces extradition hearings at St. Maarten for his removal back to Columbus, which could take several months.msg
The northeast Caribbean island is divided between France and the Netherlands Antilles. The French portion is known as St. Martin.
