Alleged Philadelphia Gang Hit Man Arrested for Three Murders

A 25-year-old alleged hit man for a Philadelphia gang has been apprehended by authorities after being wanted for three separate murders, including the killing of a 16-year-old.

Tyvine Jones was captured at an apartment complex in Delaware County by the US Marshals Service Philadelphia.

“Tyvine Jones was one of Philadelphia’s ‘Most Wanted’ for his role in the murder of three individuals between 2020 and 2022,” stated Eric Gartner, US Marshal for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, following the arrest.

Jones, who is reportedly a member and hit man of the “Blumberg” gang, is connected to three distinct murders that occurred across Philadelphia in August 2020, May 2022, and September 2022.

The victims, aged 16, 20, and 23, all succumbed to gunshot wounds, as per authorities.

Supervisory Deputy US Marshal Robert Clark previously described Jones as “the very worst society has to offer.”

“His disregard for human life poses a continued threat to the public and he should be considered armed and highly dangerous,” Clark emphasized.

The task force acted on an anonymous tip leading them to the Stratford Court Apartments, where Jones was believed to be hiding, as per the Marshals Service.

Jones was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Philadelphia Homicide Detective Division for processing.

“Together with our Philadelphia PD and other partners, our commitment to the citizens of Philadelphia remains steadfast: the relentless pursuit of violent fugitives such as Tyvine Jones, whose unrestrained existence serves only to diminish our great city,” Gartner affirmed.
