A 25-year-old alleged hitman for a Philadelphia gang has been arrested after authorities say he was wanted for three separate murders, including the killing of a 16-year-old.

Tyvine Jones was captured Wednesday at an apartment complex in Delaware County, the U.S. Marshals Service Philadelphia said.

“Tyvine Jones was one of Philadelphia’s ‘Most Wanted’ for his role in the murder of three individuals between 2020 and 2022,” Eric Gartner, United States Marshal for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, said in a statement following the arrest.

Jones, allegedly a member and hitman of the “Blumberg” gang, is linked to three separate murders that happened across Philadelphia in August 2020, May 2022 and September 2022. The three victims, aged 16, 20 and 23, all died from gunshot wounds, authorities said, without elaborating.

Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal Robert Clark previously called Jones “the very worst society has to offer.”

“His disregard for human life poses a continued threat to the public and he should be considered armed and highly dangerous,” Clark said.

The task force acted on an anonymous tip that led them to the Stratford Court Apartments, where Jones was believed to be hiding, the Marshals Service said.

“Together with our Philadelphia PD and other partners, our commitment to the citizens of Philadelphia remains steadfast: the relentless pursuit of violent fugitives such as Tyvine Jones, whose unrestrained existence serves only to diminish our great city” Gartner, said.
