The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office reports that 21-year-old Dennis Stewart, a New Orleans murder suspect, was arrested early Thursday (July 23, 2026) morning in the Slidell area by members of the U.S. Marshals E/LA New Orleans Fugitive Task Force. Stewart was wanted by the New Orleans Police Department for second-degree murder.
The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office is an active partner in the U.S. Marshals Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force and has a detective assigned to the task force. Detectives with the Sheriff's Office Major Crimes Unit also assisted with the investigation and arrest.
The U.S. Marshals E/LA New Orleans Fugitive Task Force brings together federal, state and local law enforcement agencies to locate and apprehend violent fugitives.
"This arrest is another example of what can be accomplished when law enforcement agencies work together and share resources," Sheriff Bret Ibert said. "Violent offenders cannot expect to avoid accountability simply by crossing parish lines. Our partnerships with the U.S. Marshals Service helps ensure those wanted for serious crimes are found and taken into custody as quickly and safely as possible."
