Tajon Saxon Arrested After Year-Long Manhunt

Tajon Saxon, a 26-year-old man on Massachusetts' Most Wanted List, has been apprehended in New Bedford after nearly a year on the run. Saxon faces charges related to the May 2023 murder of Diamonte Odom in Fall River, where he was indicted for murder and carrying illegal firearms. Additionally, he is charged with two counts of accessory to murder after the fact in connection with the 2021 double homicide of Jovaughn Mills and Miguel Sanjurjo. His arrest follows a collaborative effort between the Massachusetts State Police and local authorities, who pursued leads across the East Coast. Saxon was found hiding in a New Bedford apartment and is now held without bail, pending a court appearance in January 2025. The intensive manhunt concluded with Saxon’s capture, marking a significant step forward in the prosecution of these violent crimes.
