A Las Vegas fugitive wanted on human‑trafficking and other violent charges was arrested last Friday after Miami Beach police, working with FBI partners, tracked him into the city. The suspect, 35‑year‑old Dshante Styles, was taken into custody after a brief foot pursuit and now faces local charges of fleeing and eluding, police said. Authorities described his record as extensive and violent.
How officers tracked him down
According to NBC 6, detectives used license‑plate‑reader technology and FBI intelligence to find a rental minivan Styles was driving in the 400 block of 10th Street. Police say the van fled when officers attempted to stop it and was later located in North Bay Village, where they saw Styles exiting the vehicle and run; he was captured after a short chase. In addition to the outstanding Las Vegas warrant, Miami Beach investigators added charges for fleeing and eluding.
Wanted in Las Vegas on violent offenses
Styles is wanted in Las Vegas on a series of violent offenses that local authorities say include sex trafficking and endangering others. Coverage in the Las Vegas Review‑Journal has previously reported on arrests tied to a string of casino robberies and multiple felony counts, illustrating a lengthy criminal history that authorities called dangerous.
Miami Beach police booked Styles locally on the new fleeing‑and‑eluding counts while the active Las Vegas fugitive warrant remains in effect; federal partners may assist with processing and any extradition requests. Miami Beach Police Chief Wayne A. Jones said, “This arrest underscores the power of partnership and the value of proactive policing,” in a statement reported by NBC 6. Officials did not immediately release details about any trafficking charges tied to the Las Vegas investigation.
