Overview
- Tyler Mack, 32, was located in Louisville and arrested by a U.S. Marshals fugitive task force on Monday after a joint operation with Richmond and Lexington police.
- Mack is being held on multiple state warrants that allege attempted murder, kidnapping, first-degree robbery and first-degree burglary while also facing a separate federal charge accusing him of being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm.
- Officials say investigators tracked Mack’s movements after he fled Lexington, used resources provided by accomplices, and were able to positively identify him in an area of interest before conducting a targeted takedown.
- Court records tie the matter to a May 23 Madison County home invasion that reportedly involved a masked man and a woman forcing entry, assaults at gunpoint and shots fired at a person fleeing the scene; the documents’ account of a gunshot wound is described as alleged and varies in reporting.
- Ariana Meriwether surrendered on June 2 and faces related state charges, investigators recovered a firearm and suspected fentanyl during a July 24 Lexington search connected to Mack, and the arrest moves the case from fugitive search to prosecution with victims already treated at UK Hospital.
