CHARLOTTE, N.C.

Two men featured on 'America's Most Wanted' are sitting in the Mecklenburg County jail Sunday.

Antonio Barnes and Earl Jackson had been on the run since 2009 after police said they were involved in a shootout in Washington D.C.

Investigators said an innocent 15-year-old boy was killed in the shooting.

The two fugitives were taken into custody Saturday on Providence Square Drive after a tipster recognized them from the television show.
