Google Helps Nab Davis ‘Most Wanted’ Suspect

A person familiar with Olatunji Omari Amin Raheem decided, for whatever reason, to type his name into Google.

Among the search results was the ’s Most Wanted list, according to Davis Lt. Paul Doroshov.

Raheem, who had been living in San Francisco, was wanted on a warrant in Davis after allegedly striking a man in the face and breaking his jaw back in 2006. He was arrested, but he never showed up to court, hence the warrant.

“The victim said he saw a car with four or five males in it parked in his parking stall,” Doroshov said, noting that the victim confronted the men. “The suspect allegedly jumped out of the car and punched him in the face.”

At some point in the past, Raheem lived on in Davis, but it’s unclear when he relocated to the Bay Area.

The Davis Police Department worked with authorities in San Francisco to get Raheem into custody.

He will be taken from San Francisco County Jail to Yolo County Jail -- if he hasn't already -- where he will go through the court process that he started before. Whether or not the victim will take part in the process will depend on how the court proceedings go.

“If it gets resolved early, without a whole lot of testimony,” Doroshov said. “Maybe they won’t need him. If it gets drawn out, they may.”

As for the person who Googled his name, police are not releasing much information so as to ensure anonymity of the source.
