U.S. Marshals searching for murder suspect in North Carolina

NORTH CAROLINA — The U.S. Marshals Service Carolinas Regional Fugitive Task Force (CRFTF) is searching for a North Carolina man wanted in connection with a 2024 murder in Kinston.

Authorities are offering a reward of up to $2,500 for information leading to his arrest.

Bryson Jamel Bradley, 21, has been indicted on multiple charges, including first-degree murder, four counts of attempted first-degree murder, and three counts of discharging a weapon into an occupied property.

He also faces four counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill.

According to investigators, Bradley and a co-defendant allegedly drove his stepfather’s vehicle to a residence on South McDaniels Street in Kinston on September 20, 2024.

Bradley is accused of firing a rifle multiple times at a group of people sitting on a front porch.

Two victims were struck by gunfire—one died from their injuries, while the other was hospitalized and treated.

Authorities later recovered the vehicle near Bradley’s residence, but he was not found. His co-defendant has been arrested.

Bradley is described as 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighing approximately 160 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair.

He has tattoos on his neck and a right forearm tattoo reading “FAMILY.” Officials warn he should be considered armed and dangerous.

The CRFTF, which has apprehended more than 8,900 fugitives since its formation in 2018, is urging the public to provide any tips that could lead to Bradley’s arrest.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the U.S. Marshals Service at (787) 766-6297, call the U.S. Marshals Service Communication Center at 1 (800) 336-0102, or submit tips through the USMS Tips App.
