The monthslong search for one of the most wanted men in Wisconsin came to an end this week when authorities apprehended a 45-year-old father accused of beating and starving his 12-year-old son to death.

Romuan J. Moye was taken into custody on Sunday and charged with one count of first-degree reckless homicide, three counts of chronic neglect of a child, and one count of failure to report the death of a child in the horrific slaying of young Jacarie Robinson, court documents reviewed by Law&Crime show.

Of the three chronic neglect charges, the first — neglect resulting in death — is the result of Moye’s alleged nutritional neglect of his son. The second and third chronic neglect charges — neglect resulting in bodily harm, and neglect in which a specified harm did not occur — stem from Moye allegedly failing to seek medical attention for his child’s multiple bone fractures and the allegedly unsanitary condition of the home where he and the victim lived.

Moye’s arrest came just over four months after the victim’s brother found Jacarie’s dead body in an “advanced state of decomposition” inside of Moye’s home.

In an interview with Milwaukee CBS affiliate WDJT, authorities said that a seemingly insignificant tip from an “outside source” helped them locate Moye for questioning after months of searching.

“What we thought was maybe a really small investigative lead for us, so something that we thought was maybe really small, ended up pointing us in the right direction,” Thomas Kotnik of the Milwaukee Police Department’s Special Investigation Fugitive Apprehension Division, told the station. “There’s a lot of people that had a lot of questions over the last couple of months about what we were doing, how come he hasn’t been found yet; so, I think this is a step in the right direction — makes everyone feel a bit better.”

Det. Mike Driscoll told the station that after Jacarie’s body was discovered, Moye essentially “disappeared.”

“He left the house that night and had not been seen since,” he said. “This is a dad who wouldn’t give his child food, for discipline. It’s incredibly sad.”
