The Marion County Sheriff’s Office is offering up to $5,000 in reward money for information leading to the capture of Yarnell Bagley. The 20- year-old has a felony warrant for his arrest concerning a case of robbery with a firearm. Additionally, detectives want to interview Bagley concerning facts surrounding the death of 55-year-old Michael Sumpter who died from a gunshot wound that happened On June 24, 2014.
According to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, Yarnell Bagley, 20, and Wayne Galloway Jr., 19, have been named as persons of interest in the Citra shooting. Both individuals are from Citra. Galloway Jr. is currently being held at the Marion county jail.
When Bagley was 17-years-old he was arrested and charged with Possession of a Weapon by a Delinquent, Obstruction, Armed Burglary, Escape From a Juvenile Detention Facility (x2) and Criminal Mischief. Bagley’s mother assisted in his escape during that time.
Bagley is a black male with black hair, brown eyes and has a distinctive tattoo on his upper right arm of the words “love always” over the image of a headstone.
Due to Bagley’s violent criminal history, detectives consider Bagley to be armed and dangerous.
An intense search is going on right now.
