Cleveland Homicide Suspect Arrested by U.S. Marshals in Massachusetts

HOLYOKE, Mass. – This afternoon, members of the U.S. Marshals fugitive task force in Holyoke, Massachusetts arrested Juan Antonio Lozada Delgado, 47.  Delgado was wanted by the Cleveland Division of Police for murder.  He was also wanted by the U.S. Marshals Service for violating the terms of his federal probation.

Delgado is the suspect in a murder that was committed on October 4, 2026, in the 2600 block of West 25th St. in Cleveland.  According to police, Delgado shot two victims, ages 48 and 22. Both were transported to the hospital, but the 48-year-old victim died from his injuries.  Delgado was quickly identified as a suspect and a warrant was issued for his arrest.  Delgado was found to be in violation of his federal supervised release, and an additional warrant was issued.  Delgado was being supervised for drug charges stemming from a 2016 case out of the District of Puerto Rico.

Members of the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force (NOVFTF) immediately began working to find Delgado.  Investigators believed Delgado fled the state shortly after the murder, specifically to the east coast.  Information was provided to investigators in Massachusetts earlier this month about Delgado’s possible whereabouts.  Today, members of the task force were able to locate and arrest Delgado without incident at a home in the 100 block of Elm St. in Holyoke, approximately two hours west of Boston.  

Chief Deputy from the District of Massachusetts Matt Lawlor stated, “Violent fugitives may cross state lines to evade capture, but they cannot escape the reach of strong law enforcement partnerships. From Cleveland to Boston, our teams share a relentless commitment to bringing fugitives to justice and protecting our communities.”

Delgado will remain in custody in Massachusetts until he can be extradited back to Ohio to face his state and federal charges.

U.S. Marshal Pete Elliott stated, “Dedicated members of the Cleveland Division of Police work diligently to identify those who do harm in our communities, our task force and the extensive reach of the U.S. Marshals Service will ensure fugitives will be found and held accountable for their actions.”
