A Minnesota man wanted for second-degree attempted murder related to a shooting incident on a St. Paul light rail train was arrested in Pittsburgh's East Liberty neighborhood. According to TribLIVE, the suspect, identified as Theodore Jaymes, allegedly shot a woman multiple times in the leg during the incident on the train. The U.S. Marshals Service detailed that the apprehension occurred yesterday without any complications. The shooting victim’s condition has not been disclosed.

Working off a tip from Minnesota law enforcement, the U.S. Marshals Service's Western Pennsylvania Fugitive Task Force tracked Jaymes to the 5400 block of Baywood Street, where they apprehended him without incident. Charged with second-degree attempted murder in Ramsey County, Jaymes was staying in East Liberty, discovered by Marshals in the Western District of Pennsylvania, CBS News reported.

The collaborative effort that led to Jaymes' arrest involved multiple local agencies, including the Allegheny County Police Department, the Allegheny County Sheriff's Office, the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office, the Department of Corrections, the Pennsylvania State Police, and the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police. In a statement cited by TribLIVE, U.S. Marshal Stephen Eberle underscored the significance of these cooperative efforts.
