FBI Chicago's Most Wanted List turns 1: Who's been caught, who's still at large

The subjects that are on the Chicago's Most Wanted are accused of some of the most egregious and heinous crimes. These are the kind of crimes that degrade the community. That's how Assistant Special Agent in Charge Robert Wazorek describes the cases on FBI Chicago's Most Wanted list. He oversees the Chicago Field Office's violent crime program and launched this local list for the first time last year. The original list had eight individuals, and we've caught four of those individuals in a relatively short time, not only with the help of our local and state partners, but with the help of the general public. That's why this list is so important. Calvin Hutchinson was the first to be arrested, thanks to the collaboration between various law enforcement agencies. He was on the list wanted for murder and was arrested in Wisconsin. up next Nesta Gray federal court records say the 22 year old was driving the vehicle carrying 16 year old Jayden Howard when Howard was shot in the head investigators say the shooting happened in the 14100 block of Thornton Road in Dixmoor on Halloween in 2022 after the incident he fled to Canada to try to avoid prosecution the FBI is not only a national organization we're an international organization. So going to Canada is not a huge obstacle for us. We talk, we communicate not only with our office in Canada, but the local and federal law enforcement agencies in Canada. And that individual has been placed in the custody and he's waiting on extradition. Antonio Stigler was the next suspect removed from the FBI's Chicago Most Wanted list. He was wanted on a first degree murder charge in the shooting death of a pregnant woman. The shooting happened in the backyard of a Riverdale home in October 2024. Investigators say neither Stigler nor the victim lived at that home. Few details have been released about what led up to the shooting. And while the FBI partnered with other law enforcement agencies to make his arrest, they say it wouldn't have been possible without help from the public and the media. One of the great strengths of the FBI is our partnership with local and state law enforcement. But what is vastly underrated is the importance of the relationship between the FBI, law enforcement, and the general population. Civilians have access to information that we just possibly cannot have access to. And when we work in concert together, we can catch all these individuals, and we will catch all these individuals. It was that same combination of relationships that also led to the arrest of this man, Gary Llewellyn, also known as Bird. I have almost 14 years experience working violent crimes, and this case really stood out to me. One, the brazenness, middle of the day, public areas, shopping centers, gas stations, the use of real firearms, the use of firearms with extended magazines, with switches to make them automatic weapons. He was wanted by FBI Chicago for his alleged role in a violent carjacking spree in early 2023. Llewellyn was one of four men charged with committing a string of four carjackings. Three of them took place on Chicago's south side, one in Dalton. Llewellyn, the last of his co-defendants, to be arrested. Here's the thing that's unique about the Chicago's Most Wanted list. The subjects on this list committed these crimes in the Chicagoland area. But more importantly, the victims of these crimes are members of our community. And that's why this is so important. Every single person has a responsibility to make our community safer. And with this partnership and with this attention, we have the opportunity to get the most dangerous individuals off our street. Still at large and on the list is Giovanni Portillo. FBI Chicago and the Naperville Police Department are looking for him in connection with a shooting that took place outside this strip mall in 2021. This person in broad daylight at a heavily populated area where there's restaurants and other stores decides to open fire in this area, putting our entire community that's in that area in danger needs to be held accountable for that. Joseph Matos also has a spot on the list wanted for the murder of Chris Carvajal. He's one of two men investigators believe are responsible for fatally shooting the 19-year-old guardsman in July 2021. The FBI shared this security footage with us showing how the shooting occurred with Gary Roberson as the accused gunman getting out of the car and firing his weapon. And when he gets back in, Matos is the alleged getaway driver. Roberson has been arrested and charged in federal court. Our main goal here is for Sean Brown to be in custody safely, safely for him, safely for our partners and our FBI agents who will be out looking for him. Just recently, FBI Chicago added one new case to the list, Sean E. Brown. He is wanted for a fatal shooting outside a Culver's restaurant in Lansing, Illinois, in June of this year. He is 38 years old, about six feet tall, weighing around 210 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He also goes by the name Shooty or Shoot. Investigators say he should be considered armed and dangerous. The FBI is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to Brown's arrest.
