APEX, NC — A fugitive on the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Top 10 list, wanted for multiple armed sexual assaults in California, was shot and killed in a North Carolina motel Wednesday morning, according to a report.

Greg Alyn Carlson was placed on the FBI’s Top 10 Fugitive list in September 2018, and a $100,000 reward was offered for information leading to his capture. He was one of very few criminals placed on the list not wanted for murder.
“This man is a woman’s worst nightmare,” said Special Agent Scott Garriola, a member of the FBI’s Los Angeles Fugitive Task Force, said in a statement.. “He is the prowler who breaks in at night and violently sexually assaults his victims.”
Carlson was shot and killed by FBI agents Wednesday morning during a struggle over a gun at a motel in Apex, North Carolina, the Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday afternoon.
Carlson was charged with a 2017 armed burglary in Los Angeles that ended with a violent sexual assault, and DNA linked him to other sexual assaults dating back to 2003, the FBI said.
Following his arrest in 2017, he posted bond and fled California for a family home in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, where he acquired a stolen handgun, a large amount of cash and a rental car. From there, he was spotted in Hoover, Alabama, where he led police on a high-speed chase. A week later, he was seen in Florida, in Jacksonville and Daytona, the FBI said.
In 2018, FBI investigators said they were having difficulty developing a profile of Carlson because not much was known about him. “So far, we haven’t been able to pin down what he did to earn money,” Garriola said at the time. “It’s likely he had some family money.”
The FBI hoped that naming him to the agency’s infamous list would create publicity to aid in his capture and the identifying of additional victims, they said at the time.
“I think there are more victims out there,” Garriola said, adding, “Carlson has demonstrated a pattern of violent crimes against women stretching over a period of years. There is no reason to think he will stop until we catch him.”
