A fugitive wanted for attempted murder in Connecticut was finally nabbed yesterday in The Bronx, two years after dramatically escaping US Marshals who had traced him to Queens.
Kemal McIntyre, 33, allegedly shot a man in Hartford during an April 2009 robbery, then fled the state, authorities said.
In August 2009, the Marshals tracked McIntyre to the La Guardia Marriott Hotel and began taking down the door of his room.
McIntyre leaped out a window, breaking his five-story fall by hitting an air-conditioner, authorities said.
A blood-spattered McInture then ran to a nearby gas station, where he approached the son of a retired NYPD cop filling his dad’s car. The man asked him “Are you OK?” a law-enforcement source said.
“He says, ‘Yeah, I’m OK.’ [McIntyre then] jumps in the car” and sped off as the son’s girlfriend jumped out of the vehicle, the source said.
Yesterday afternoon, Marshals and NYPD officers spotted McIntyre sitting in a BMW at East 164th Street and Grant Avenue, and busted him, authorities said.
