Cleveland Murder Suspect Arrested in Wheeling, WV

Wheeling, WV – Late this morning, members of the U.S. Marshals led Mountain State Fugitive Task Force arrested wanted fugitive Devin Roberts, 42.  Roberts was wanted by the Cleveland Division of Police for murder as well as by the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Department for probation violations.  

On June 16, 2025, Cleveland Police responded to gunshots in the area of Parkgate Ave. and East 105th St. When officers arrived, they received information that one victim had been shot and that the suspect was possibly located in a home nearby.  The victim of the shooting, De’Ante Kidd, 34, was found deceased on the porch of a home on Parkgate Ave.  Cleveland SWAT responded to a second location where they believed the suspect to be.  At the time the suspect, Devin Roberts, was not located. A warrant was issued for Roberts’ arrest and the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force (NOVFTF) began searching for him.  

As members of the NOVFTF began searching for Roberts, they believed that he had fled the Cleveland area after the crime.  Today, information was provided to the U.S. Marshals in Wheeling, West Virginia that Roberts may be hiding in their area.  The task force was able to locate Roberts in Brilliant, Ohio.  He was arrested without incident during a traffic stop in the area of 1400 3rd St. Roberts will remain in custody until he can be extradited back to Cleveland for the charges against him.  

U.S. Marshal Pete Elliott stated, “This suspect has brought violence and fear to the Cleveland community, we are thankful for the dedicated work of the Detectives in the Cleveland homicide unit as well as the quick actions by members of our task force and in West Virginia.  The suspect is behind bars and the communities are safer.”
