FBI says 10 Most Wanted fugitive Gregory Henderson Jr., with Louisville connections, was arrested in Mississippi after three years on the run

Federal authorities announced Monday that Gregory Henderson Jr., a fugitive listed on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted program and described as having connections to Louisville, was arrested in Louin, Mississippi, ending a federal manhunt that had lasted about three years.

According to the FBI as reported by WAVE, Henderson had been a federal fugitive for approximately three years before his arrest in Mississippi. The FBI’s Ten Most Wanted program is designed to generate leads from the public and law enforcement to locate individuals accused of serious offenses who have not been found through standard investigative channels.

The arrest is likely to trigger additional steps in the federal process, including custody transfer and case-handling procedures tied to the specific charges underlying the Ten Most Wanted listing. Details about the alleged offenses, the case district, and whether any new charges were added were not included in the WAVE report.

For Kentucky residents, the development is significant largely because of the reported Louisville connection. While the specifics of Henderson’s alleged ties to the Louisville area were not detailed in the report, the FBI’s emphasis on those connections indicates investigators believed his whereabouts or activity could be linked to the Louisville region.

The arrest also underscores how federal warrants and interagency investigations can extend across state lines. Henderson’s location in Mississippi after years on the run reflects the kind of multi-state coordination the FBI and partner agencies typically pursue when a federal fugitive is believed to have traveled, sought new housing, or continued to evade arrest.

In the period leading up to a Ten Most Wanted capture, authorities routinely rely on tips from the public and checks against investigative leads, such as observed identities, vehicle reports, and other information that can help narrow a search. The WAVE report did not specify what tip or investigative step led to the arrest.

The next public milestone will generally be when federal authorities confirm court proceedings connected to Henderson’s case, including any initial appearance, detention status, or scheduling of hearings. Until those documents are issued, the precise charges and procedural posture remain tied to the FBI’s underlying warrant and the records maintained by the prosecuting office handling the matter.
