<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">NORFOLK, Va. – U.S. Marshals are asking for the public’s assistance in tracking down a man charged with murdering his ex-girlfriend and her father in front of their children. Amos Jacob Arroyo, 32, has been on the run since July 2017.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Around 6:15 p.m. July 30, Newport News police responded to reports of a shooting at a trailer on York River Lane. Patricia Joseph and her father Jessie Barnes were killed as a result of the shooting. Joseph is </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Arroyo’s ex-girlfriend and is the mother of their two children who were present in the trailer at the time of the murders.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Newport News Police Department investigated the shooting and identified Arroyo as the suspect.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The following day, arrest warrants were issued charging Arroyo with two counts of first-degree murder and related charges. The U.S. Marshals were then asked for assistance in tracking Arroyo down.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The U.S. Marshals began looking for Arroyo and located his vehicle Aug. 1 abandoned in a Walmart parking lot off Interstate 95 in Pooler, Georgia. Camera footage shows Arroyo in the Walmart on the morning of July 31, the day after the murders, purchasing a backpack, underwear, socks, a hooded sweatshirt, pants, and tee shirts. After checking out, Arroyo walked out of the Walmart and left his vehicle behind. This is the last confirmed sighting of Arroyo.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">“He hit the ground running,” said U.S. Marshal for the Eastern District of Virginia Bobby Mathieson.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">“The morning after the murders he was already 500 miles away. By the time we found his vehicle in Georgia, we were a day behind him. Not only did he leave his car behind, we believe he left his old identity behind as well.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Identification cards belonging to Arroyo were found in his abandoned vehicle, and investigators believe he is </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">now using a fake name.</span></p>
