U.S. Marshals Arrest Fargo Homicide Suspect in Minneapolis

Overview

• Law enforcement took 22-year-old Jayvon Allen into custody in Minneapolis as a suspect in the Aug. 3, 2025, downtown Fargo homicide of Azeem Holmes.
• Officials say the arrest followed a warrant issued in late April and was carried out by the U.S. Marshals Service North Star Task Force working with Fargo police.
• Authorities kept the warrant and search efforts out of public view and temporarily sealed records to avoid alerting Allen and to preserve investigative steps.
• Investigators describe the case as rooted in a months-long dispute involving many people with possible gang ties but say there is no evidence that gang affiliation explains the motive.
• Police continue to gather evidence, urge anyone with tips to contact Fargo police, and plan to extradite Allen from Minneapolis to Cass County for charging and court proceedings.
