Feds capture suspect wanted for killing brothers in Little Haiti

CBS4

U.S. Marshals have captured a wanted fugitive in Miami with help from a CBS4 viewer.

On October 29, CBS4 profiled the hunt for Barton Hill, 19, who was on the run from double-murder charges.

After seeing the story, a viewer thought he saw Hill and called U.S. Marshals late Wednesday night.

Officials set up surveillance at an apartment complex at Northwest 18th Terrace and 22nd Avenue where Hill was taken into custody around 5 Thursday morning.

Hill was wanted for a shooting spree in Little Haiti in September. Authorities said Hill and another man opened fire on four men who were watching Monday Night Football.

Two of those shooting victims, brothers, did not survive.

Barton Hill has a criminal past for violent crimes, including armed robbery and attempted murder, dating back to age 16.

Hill is being booked into the Miami-Dade County Jail

The tipster will receive a reward but the amount is unknown at this time.

This article will be updated as more information becomes available.
