DOJ Press

Cedar Rapids, IA – U.S. Marshals
today arrested a man near Chicago who is wanted on several charges in
Iowa and Illinois.
Dimione Jamal Walker, 29, is wanted in connection
to the April 10 shooting at the Taboo Night Club in Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
that left two people dead and 10 others injured.
Walker is wanted in Linn County, Iowa, on charges
of first-degree murder, intimidation with a dangerous weapon, going
armed with intent, and felon in possession of a firearm. He is wanted by
the Illinois Department of Corrections on a charge of parole
violation–possession of a weapon. He is wanted by the U.S. Marshals on
a charge of bail–personal recognizance.
On the morning of April 11, investigators with
the Cedar Rapids Police Department contacted the Northern Iowa Fugitive
Task Force requesting assistance in the location and apprehension of
Walker. Task Force officers began to follow up on leads throughout
eastern Iowa. By April 12, Marshals developed information indicating
Walker had fled the state and began coordinating with U.S. Marshal
fugitive task forces in multiple states. On April 14, U.S. Marshals
developed information indicating Walker was likely in the greater
Chicago area, and began coordinating with the U.S. Marshals Great Lakes
Regional Fugitive Task Force.
Officers with the Great Lakes Regional Fugitive
Task Force today narrowed their search to an address in the 500 block of
Holiday Plaza Drive in Matteson, Illinois. Shortly after 10 a.m.,
Marshals identified Walker exiting a building and proceeding to a
vehicle. Walker was arrested without incident and transported to the
Chicago Police District 5 for processing, where he remains in custody.
