Man Wanted On 2 Illinois Murder Charges Captured On Cape Cod

HYANNIS, MA — A man wanted in connection to shooting and killing two people in Illinois last month was arrested on Cape Cod Thursday, according to Massachusetts State Police.

Cal Curry, 33, was captured around 9:30 a.m., at a Hyannis home in the 400th block of Pitchers Way. State Police said Curry was wanted on two counts of murder stemming from a Nov. 13, 2021, shooting inside a home in Riverside, Illinois. The shooting left a 31-year-old woman and a 38-year-old man dead.

State Police said the arrest came after the U.S. Marshals Great Lakes Regional Federal Task Force uncovered information indicating Curry was likely hiding with relatives on Cape Cod. State Police, U.S. Marshals officials and Barnstable police arrived to take Curry into custody.

But when authorities arrived, the homeowner refused to let them come inside, State Police said. Police then set up a perimeter outside the house and maintained contact with the homeowner. After about an hour, Curry came outside and was taken into custody.

Following the arrest, officers took Curry to the Barnstable Police Department, where he was booked as a fugitive from justice. In addition to the two murder charges, Curry was also charged with violating his parole from a prior conviction.

Prosecutors will bring Curry back to Illinois to face the murder and parole violation charges.
