Capture of American fugitive Sherman Kemp

Overview

Sherman Kemp, a 47-year-old American fugitive known as ‘Goose’, was apprehended in the Dominican Republic’s National District on October 22, 2026. The arrest was conducted through a joint operation between the Dominican National Directorate for Drug Control (DNCD) and the U.S. Marshals Service.

Kemp had been a fugitive since escaping U.S. federal custody in September 2026 while serving a sentence of approximately 30 years for crimes including conspiracy to distribute cocaine and heroin, as well as illegal firearms possession. Following his capture, Kemp was deported to Miami and remains in the custody of the U.S. Marshals. Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances of his initial escape from federal custody.
