At the time of both murders, he was paroled by the state of New York for attempted murder in the second degree, assault in the first degree and criminal possession of a firearm. 

On November 6, 2002, the Neverson, armed with a handgun, allegedly entered the home of another ex-girlfriend in an attempt to visit his daughter. 

The woman's brother interrupted the incident and Neverson fled the scene.

At the time, the New York City Police Department searched the area for the felon, but never located him. 

On Tuesday, Patricia Neverson's son, Akim Neverson, told the New York Daily News that he hadn't heard about his uncle's arrest.

'I haven't really digested it,' he said. 'I'm definitely relieved he's somewhere, rather than he's jumping out of some bush, trying to end my life.'

Akim, who now works as a correction officer, was 17 years old when his mother was killed.

Marshals said Neverson was also in the US illegally. 

After finding out that Neverson was hiding in a Bridgeport house, US Marshals from the Connecticut Violent Fugitive Task Force and officers of the Bridgeport Police Department monitored the home.

They took Neverson into custody as he left the home around Tuesday afternoon. 

'The United States Marshals Service is extremely pleased to have a violent criminal, who murdered two women in New York, off the streets of Connecticut after 16 years on the run,' said US Marshal Brian Taylor, District of Connecticut. 

Neverson has also been featured on America's Most Wanted.

He is expected to be transferred back to New York City, but it's unclear when he will be returned.
