U.S. Marshals arrested Youngstown fugitive Alfonda Madison on Tuesday in Buffalo, N.Y., where he had lived since disappearing early after a reported home invasion in early October.

Police charged Madison, 25, with three counts of aggravated robbery and with illegal possession of a firearm after he and a colleague reportedly broke into an East Side Youngstown home armed with a shotgun Oct. 11.

He also was the prosecution’s key witness in the Lorenza Barnette double-murder trial.

Dean Michael, the U.S. Marshals Task Force coordinator for the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force, said Madison was arrested after two days of investigating.
