Overview
- Roper, added to the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list Tuesday, was arrested Wednesday during a 10:30 a.m. traffic stop in High Springs, Florida, and booked into the Alachua County Jail without incident.
- Multiple tips to the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center described a person and vehicle in High Springs, including reports of someone loading belongings into a car, which led officers to conduct the stop.
- High Springs police made the arrest with support from the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Marshals Service, after the FBI offered up to a $1 million reward for information.
- Prosecutors say Roper fired into a car in Kansas City on August 23, 2020, killing 23-year-old Jazmyn Henrion and injuring another person, and court records cite surveillance video and witness accounts tying her to the shooting.
- She faces second-degree murder and weapons charges filed on September 10, 2020, plus a federal unlawful-flight charge stemming from a July 1, 2021 warrant, in a case officials cite as a textbook example of the Ten Most Wanted program driving fast captures.
