Atlanta, GA - The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force (SERFTF) and Florida/Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force (FCRFTF), in coordination with the West Palm Beach Police Department, on February 23, 2024, located and safely arrested a man wanted by the West Palm Beach Police Department for second-degree murder with a firearm.   

Gary Everett, 46, was wanted in connection with the shooting death of a man whose body was found on the street in West Palm Beach October 10, 2023. 

Everett is suspected of shooting the victim in his vehicle, dumping the body, and fleeing the scene. Everett has an extensive criminal history of arrests and convictions including assaults, firearms, burglary, and narcotics possession and trafficking.
