'Most Wanted' Fugitive in 2005 Murder Posts Wedding Photo on Social Media
This fugitive should have thought twice before uploading a wedding photo to social media, two years after he was declared one of America's Most Wanted.
On Monday, U.S. Marshals released a wedding photo of Jihad Amir Ramadan, 30, that was posted to a close friend's Myspace account in 2007 — two years after he was accused of fatally stabbing 20-year-old Byron "BJ" Bryant of Texas.
"We're confident based on the age progression that it matches," Deputy U.S. Marshal Chris Leuer told InsideEdition.com. "[Ramadan] has a lot of ties to the Caribbean. It's possible [his wife is] from down there."
While she's not a suspect in the investigation, the U.S. Marshals Services is offering up to $2,500 for information leading to Ramadan's arrest.
Leuer said they believe the person who posted the image to Myspace is very close to the family.
Additionally, at least one person from Ramadan's immediate family was present at the wedding, which officials believe to have been held in either New York or New Jersey, where Ramadan's family has ties.
She said she was told by eyewitnesses to the scene that Bryant and his roommate were at a gathering off campus when her Texan son was surrounded by a group of young men from New York.
Bryant was stabbed, his carotid artery was severed, and he bled to death on the operating table, his mother recalled. He was 20 years old at the time.
Pitts-Bryant said that although it has been 11 years since her son's passing in 2005, her son's friends from the time still make routine visits to her home in Houston on his birthday, or the anniversary of his death.
"They take me to lunch, they bring me flowers. They stuck with me all these years, and have been so kind and loving," she said. "They're all my kids."
