A North Miami Beach, Fla., man was arrested at the Hastings library Saturday afternoon, more than two years after he allegedly stabbed his girlfriend to death, the FBI announced.
Abraham Mpaka, 46, was caught at 4:30 p.m. by the FBI's Fugitive Task Force and arrested without incident. Mpaka was wanted since the Dec. 26, 2008, death of his girlfriend, Coty Paul. Authorities accuse Mpaka of stabbing Paul, the mother of his children, in the heart as she was watching television in her neighbor's apartment.
Mpaka, a native of Nigeria, was featured on the television show "America's Most Wanted" three times since Paul's death. He has claimed in the past to be a doctor, an FBI agent and a student at the Universite de Paris, the FBI said.
Mpaka was arrested after the Task Force followed up on investigative leads. He remains at the Dakota County Jail in Hastings while awaiting extradition to Florida.
The FBI's Fugitive Task Force is comprised of investigators from the Minneapolis Police Department, the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office, and the FBI.
