Authorities in the Beltway Sniper investigation have issued an all points bulletin on two “people of interest.”
The two individuals they seek are John Mohammed (see picture below), also known as John Allen Williams, 42, formerly connected to Fort Lewis, an Army base south of Tacoma, Wash. and Lee Malvo, a juvenile possibly accompanying Williams. Pictures will be posted on the Police1 homepage when they become available.
The two men are linked with a blue or burgundy Chevy Caprice, with New Jersey license plates, with the plate reading: NDA-21Z.
The FBI searched the back yard of a home in Tacoma that they believe may be related to the probe Wednesday night. Search warrants related to the serial sniper case are being served in various parts of the country Wednesday night. Warrants included some in the D.C. area and at least one search warrant is also being executed in Marion, Ala.
Agents searched the home in Tacoma Wednesday with metal detectors and chain saws - more than 2,000 miles away from the region where the shootings have taken place. The agents, acting on information from the sniper task force based in Maryland, were seeking evidence at the rental home related to ammunition.
Agents left with the stump of a tree, which could have been used for target practice. According to officials, it’s not likely that arrests will be made Wednesday night.
Any information on the above individuals should be directed to the Sniper Task Force in Maryland.
