FBI Captures Fugitive from Ten Most Wanted List in Record Time

The FBI swiftly apprehended Gregory Henderson Jr., a suspect added to its Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list only a day earlier, as announced by FBI Director Kash Patel. Henderson, 46, was arrested after being included on August 11. He was sought for allegations involving drug trafficking, money laundering, and dogfighting conspiracies. Considered armed and dangerous, Henderson was described as the leader of a violent Indianapolis gang linked to the Sinaloa Cartel, an organized crime group headquartered in Sinaloa, Mexico.

The FBI alleged that the gang circulated cocaine, fentanyl, and methamphetamine throughout Indianapolis and the broader Midwest region. Since a significant federal operation in August 2023, Henderson had managed to evade capture. That operation resulted in 18 arrests and the confiscation of 61 firearms, illegal substances, cash totaling $98,000, and 166 fighting dogs, according to FBI reports.

Patel informed Fox News Digital about Henderson’s arrest, which marked the ninth capture of a fugitive from the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list since President Donald Trump’s return to office. He cited this figure as more than double compared to captures made under the previous administration over its entire tenure, attributing the success to the FBI and its partners under President Trump’s leadership over 18 months.

The current FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list features 10 profiles, including Henderson. The remaining fugitives include:

The FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list consistently maintains 10 profiles, allowing for the addition of new names when captures occur or when individuals are removed from the list. The agency encourages individuals with information about any fugitive to reach out to local FBI offices, U.S. Embassies or Consulates, or submit tips online. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the Ten Most Wanted list’s inception.
