A Fall River murder suspect is now in custody.
According to Jennifer Sowa of the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office, 26-year-old Tajon Saxon, who was previously indicted on charges of Murder, Carrying a Loaded Illegal Firearm, and Carrying an Illegal Firearm for the May 13, 2023, homicide of 23-year-old Diamonte Odom in Fall River has been captured.
Saxon had been at large for almost a year and was the subject of an intensive manhunt. The defendant was located and apprehended yesterday in the City of New Bedford by the Massachusetts State Police Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section.
Saxon is also wanted on a default warrant in connection to the May 2021 Fall River double-homicide of Jovaughn Mills and Miguel Sanjurjo where he is charged with two counts of Accessory to Murder-After the Fact.
Saxon will appear this morning in the Fall River Superior Court to face these charges.
