The FBI Pittsburgh Division and the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrest of wanted fugitive Leonard Rayne Moses Friday.

Moses was arrested in Grand Blanc, Mich., on Thursday by FBI Detroit’s Fugitive Task Force.

On April 6, 1968, during the 1968 Pittsburgh riots, Moses and some friends threw Molotov cocktails at a house located in Homewood. As a result of burns received during the attack and subsequent pneumonia, the female victim inside the house died.

On June 1, 1971, Moses escaped custody while attending his grandmother’s funeral in the Homewood section of Pittsburgh. At the time of his escape, Moses was serving a life sentence for first degree murder.

Moses is in custody on a federal unauthorized flight to avoid confinement warrant, issued out of the Western District of Pennsylvania in 1971. Pending an extradition hearing and Michigan state charges, he will be brought back to Pennsylvania.

At some point since his escape in 1971, Moses assumed the identity of Paul Dickson. At least since 1999, he was employed as a traveling pharmacist in Michigan.

Using the FBI’s Next Generation Identification system, Moses’ fingerprints from the state arrest in Michigan matched with the prints taken after his arrest in 1968.
