Syracuse (WSYR-TV) - Each week, you play a key role in tracking down wanted criminals who are trying to stay off the radar of police. Now, U.S. Marshals want to offer you a reward for information that will lead to the arrest of their latest fugitive.
His name is Clinton Hill Junior; he's been arrested more than 50 times since 1996, on everything from assault, drug and weapons charges.
Hill's last arrest happened here in the 300 block of Rich Street. Police saw him toss a gun into a bush after he shot at a man. The weapons conviction sent him to federal prison for nearly four years. Now he's wanted for violating his federal probation. “We've come to the conclusion that he's very violent, unpredictable and at this point, we consider him armed and dangerous,” Chris Amoia, a U.S. Marshal said.
Hill's last known address was Boyden Street, in Syracuse. The Fugitive Task Force says he's been known to hang out on the east, north and south sides of Syracuse. “We're urging the public now to take a look at his photo to see if there's any information that might lead to his arrest,” Amoia said.
Clinton Hill is 29-years-old, 6’ 1” and 175 pounds. If you can tell the Fugitive Task Force where he may be, give them a call at 476-7625, or the Syracuse Police Warrant Squad at 442-5230
