R.I. fugitives to be featured on America's Most Wanted

PAWTUCKET -- Two Rhode Island fugitives wanted for killing a Pawtucket woman will be featured on the TV show "America's Most Wanted" tomorrow.

Nineteen-year-old Barry Offley, of Woonsocket, and 28-year-old Alonzo Shelton of Central Falls are wanted in the fatal shooting of 24-year-old Jessica Imran in her home last Thursday.

Pawtucket police enlisted the help of the show after failing to find them.

Another woman, 28-year-old Julie Lange of Central Falls, was also shot but survived.

Jon Leiberman, a producer for America's Most Wanted, says the show picked up the story because of how heinous the crime was. He says the show has helped capture almost 900 fugitives in the 19 years they've been on the air.
