Investigators were under the belief that Carter was hiding in a known family member’s home, and when task force members knocked on the door, a family member confirmed the fugitive was inside.

Carter was then taken into custody without incident, according to a press release from the U.S. Marshals Service, and taken to Philadelphia Police headquarters for processing.
