FBI’s Most Wanted Fugitives in NJ: Have You Seen Them?

They are wanted for murder, sex assault robbery, hijacking, malicious cyber activity and an assortment of other serious crimes, and many are considered armed and dangerous.

The FBI based in Newark is asking for the public’s help in tracking down the worst of the worst so they can finally face the music for their alleged crimes.

Prey on the desperate

FBI Special Agent Vernon Addison says one of the Most Wanted, Mallie Monte Evans, is accused of sex trafficking and conspiracy and operating a violent multi-state prostitution operation for years.

“He would lure these vulnerable victims in but then he would abuse them, he would force them into prostitution, he would threaten them with weapons, or he would actually beat them with weapons,” said Addison.

He said Evans would prey on desperate women “with false promises of getting in the music video business as models, when they were in need of shelter he would supply them with shelter and he claimed he would supply them with any needs that they had.”

He said Evans goes by several aliases, including Tax Thousands and Mr. Thousands, because he’s an aspiring rap artist, he is known to frequent the Mount Laurel and Cherry Hill area and may also spend time at music venues.

Don't approach him

Addison said if members of the public believe they have spotted Evans “they shouldn’t try to intervene and try to confront this person about being wanted, they should just call 911.”

“He is considered armed and dangerous, there are allegations that he carries a weapon, we wouldn’t want the public confronting someone, it’s law enforcement’s job to execute arrest warrants.”

Addison said people in the community can help to bring this individual to justice, just by keeping their eyes open.

“The more information they can give to local law enforcement or to the FBI about where they suspect our fugitive to be, the better off we are in attempting to capture him,” he said.

Addison said the FBI is offering a $25,000 reward for his capture.
