He was convicted of rape and took off before he could be sentenced, making him a top priority for the U.S. Marshals.

Now, 32-year-old Llamar Venson is behind bars thanks to a viewer tip following ourDetroit's Most Wanted segment. 

It was DNA that led police to Llamar Venson, evidence from an untested rape kit in 2004 that identified Venson in 2016 and a jury convicted him.

“Venson was involved in raping a female who was basically unconscious at the time he raped her,” Deputy U.S. Marshal Aaron Garcia said.

Venson also has a long rap sheet.

“There’s nothing he won’t do, this guy does not discriminate from crime to crime- as you see, drugs, rape, narcotics, armed robbery – he don’t discriminate – he does them all,” Garcia said.
