Philadelphia Homicide Fugitive Arrested in Cairo, Egypt

Special Agent in Charge (SAC) Janice K. Fedarcyk, FBI Philadelphia, announces the arrest of Kyree Slocum for homicide and related charges.   Slocum, age 35, was arrested on May 29, 2009, at a location in Cairo, Egypt.  Slocum was taken into custody without incident by the Egyptian Authorities along with FBI Agents assigned to the Cairo Legat office.

Slocum is alleged to be responsible for the October 23, 2008, double homicide which occurred in the 2300 block of N Marshall Street, Philadelphia, PA.  Slocum allegedly shot four individuals, two of which were pronounced dead at the scene and the other two were taken to a local hospital where they were treated and released for gunshot wounds.  At the request of the Philadelphia Police Department, the Philadelphia FBI Office obtained a federal warrant charging Slocum with Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution (UFAP) which was filed in U.S. District Court.

Following Slocum’s arrest, arrangements were made for Slocum to be repatriated to the United States.  Philadelphia FBI agents and Philadelphia Police Department (PHPD) homicide detectives assigned to the FBI Violent Crimes Fugitive Task Force traveled to Cairo, Egypt to take custody of Slocum and transport him back to Philadelphia, PA.  Slocum is from the 3800 block of West Cambridge Street, Philadelphia, PA.

A criminal complaint is an accusation of criminal conduct, and is not evidence.  A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until convicted through due process.
