On the one-year anniversary of his death, October 26, 2023, New Rochelle Detectives had identified Mtayari Dixon as the prime suspect, but he remained at large, believed to be hiding in the southern United States. Now, more than two years later, Dixon is still a fugitive.
The FBI has issued a wanted poster for Dixon, describing him as a 6-foot-1 Black male, weighing 235 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair that may be shaven or bald. He has a tattoo on his upper left arm of a man’s face. Dixon was charged with murder on November 14, 2022, in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York, White Plains, New York. A federal arrest warrant was issued on March 6, 2024, for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. The FBI considers Dixon armed and dangerous and is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to his location and arrest.
Dixon has ties to Charlotte, North Carolina; Atlanta, Georgia; Stamford, Connecticut; and New Rochelle, New York. He allegedly fled to Charlotte after the shooting. New Rochelle Detectives have been working with the FBI Safe Streets Task Force to apprehend him.
New York State Crimestoppers is offering a cash reward of up to $2,500 for information that directly leads to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for Cauldwell’s murder, listed as NYSCS Case #2022-108.
The “America’s Most Wanted” episode, Season 3, Episode 4, runs for 43 minutes and is rated TV-14. It can be streamed on the FOX website or app with a TV provider login, or on platforms like Hulu. The episode link is here.
