An American wanted by federal authorities in Texas for murdering his stepfather seven years ago was nabbed by immigration agents in Abuyog, Leyte. Tipton Shea McMahon was arrested at his home in Barangay Balinsasayaw, Abuyog, Leyte by operatives from the bureau’s fugitive search unit, Immigration commissioner Jaime Morente said. McMahon was charged with murder before the Texas court for allegedly stabbing to death his stepfather, Peter O’Shea, at the latter’s home in Cypress, Texas on Aug. 2, 2010. Raquepo said McMahon eluded arrest in the US for six years before he fled to the Philippines. “We will put him in our blacklist to prevent him from re-entering our country,” the BI official added.
