Due to his ties to the Atlanta area, and both North Carolina and South Carolina, the FBI has expanded their search to include Georgia too.

Dixon is wanted in connection to the October 2022 deadly shooting of a man he was arguing with in New Rochelle, New York, according to the FBI.

After the murder, Dixon got on a train and went to Stamford, Connecticut, agents say.
