A tip called in to an Ohio fugitive task force ended the 2-year manhunt for a fugitive wanted for murder in Riverdale, GA.
According to Fox 5, the tip led police to the doorstep of the Cleveland, Ohio home where Wisdom Jeffrey was holed up. He was arrested peacefully after U.S. Marshals surrounded the home early Friday.
Jeffrey was charged with the Aug. 11, 2010 shotgun death of his estranged wife, Corrissa Friends, 21, at the Chateau Phase II apartments at 6603 Church St in Riverdale.
He is being held without bond while he awaits extradition to Atlanta.
Corrissa met Jeffrey at her family owned car wash when she was 17. Jeffrey occasionally brought in one of singer Keyshia Cole’s cars to be washed. The music industry insider often dropped Cole’s name to impress the high school student. He took her on dates to industry parties where he introduced her to celebrities. It was heady stuff for a teenager.
Corrissa and Jeffrey were soon married. But their brief marriage was an abusive one.
Corrissa’s murder case was profiled on ‘America’s Most Wanted‘ in April of last year. Jeffrey had been on the run for nearly a year by the time the program aired on FOX.
The couple’s baby girl, Casey, 3, is now being raised by Corrissa’s parents, Charles and Patricia Friends.
“It’s a burden off of us because now, the protectiveness that we’ve had in terms of watching over our shoulder in reference to the baby is all gone,” said Charles Friends.
