From fox6now.com:
MILWAUKEE - U.S. Marshals are searching for a man accused of the attempted armed robbery of a gas station on Milwaukee's south side. Agents said he was identified through DNA left behind at the scene of the crime.
"We’re profiling Joseph Sexton. He’s wanted for three counts of forgery and one count of robbery," the agent on the case said. "He was on the south side, but the last I heard, he was living in California, and so I’m just looking for any information on where he might be out in California.
U.S. Marshals said in 2016, Sexton was involved in an attempted armed robbery at a gas station near 60th and Oklahoma. An employee told police Sexton placed an unknown object against his right side, implying he had a weapon. While at the register, the employee was able to open the door and yell for help.
Sexton was accused of punching the employee. During a struggle, prosecutors said Sexton left his shirt, necklace and a torn piece of his undershirt at the scene. DNA confirmed his identity.
"I think he could be considered armed and dangerous," the agent said.
U.S. Marshals described Sexton as 5 feet, 9 inches tall and 235 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. There are also some scars that help identify him.
"He does have scars on both eyebrows, about a five-inch scar on one of his forearms, and he has a tattoo on his left hand," the agent on the case said. "If you know where Joseph is, or know where he may be, just give us a call."
Sexton was also accused of forgery. He and a female he was with were charged with stealing someone’s checks and cashing them in small amounts – like $85, $95 and $96. The checks were cashed in 2016.
U.S. Marshals encouraged Sexton to come clean and clear his legal struggles: "Take care of it. Turn yourself in, and get this over with."

Thoughts? As of today's posting date (July 22nd, 2023), the case against Sexton is still listed as filed only- arrest warrant issued in Wisconsin's online criminal court case records:

Also, the article keeps mentioning the Marshals want him but frustratingly doesn't list how to contact them. I assume this website about submitting a tip to them should suffice:
