A fugitive wanted for murder in Virginia has turned up in Buffalo.U.S. Marshals caught up with Alexander Rosevelt Hill Jr. after a tip led them to a homeless shelter in Buffalo.

In a statement released late Thursday, Charles Salina, the U.S. Marshal for the Western New York District said, "“I would like to thank the tipster who called into the Buffalo U.S. Marshals office with information regarding Hill’s location at St. Luke’s Mission. My deputies were fast to act and apprehend this suspect quickly and without incident. They did an outstanding job today. Thanks to the tipster, another dangerous fugitive is behind bars.”

Hill is accused of murdering a family of four, including a two-year-old, in Virginia over Easter weekend in 2014. Two of the four died after Hill allegedly assaulted them. The other two, including the toddler, perished when Hill set their home on fire. 

Hill's ex-girlfriend lived at the house, but was not home at the time.
