2. The FBI has removed Phoenix's Jason Derek Brown from the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. Brown was the main suspect in a 2004 murder of a Phoenix armored car guard. He was removed from the list because there have not been any reports of his whereabouts or recent illegal activity. Despite his removal from the list, the bureau will continue its search for Brown.
