U.S. marshals need the public’s help to find a known drug dealer with ties to the underground hip-hop scene who has been on the run for nearly two years.
Kalif Prysock, 29, has multiple arrests for distribution of large quantities of drugs and has used many alias names. Prysock is believed to have been involved in the D.C. club scene and associated with a rap music label called CCE (Career Criminal Enterprise) records. Efforts to reach CCE on Wednesday were unsuccessful.
“This isn’t a guy that’s getting arrested for drugs that he’s going to use himself,” said Matthew Burke, supervisory inspector with the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force. “He has ties throughout the region and up and down the coast, which always makes it more difficult for law enforcement so we need the community’s help.”
Maryland authorities believe Prysock has been traveling between the Washington, D.C., area and New York, New Jersey and possibly Massachusetts. Prysock is 6-feet-1, 250 pounds with tattoos on his right shoulder. He’s known to friends and family as Xavier Khalil Conner and uses other aliases like Brandon Benefit, Jeremy Lemar, John Askew, Alfred Gordon, Ryan Lemar and Thomas Kalif.
Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call the U.S. Marshals Service at 301-489-1717 or 800-336-0102. Law enforcement authorities are offering a reward for information leading to his arrest.
Last month, the U.S. marshals announced that they had arrested a most wanted fugitive mere hours after his story was published in The Examiner. But authorities said Tuesday that the man who was arrested by Calvert County sheriffs turned out to be wanted on an outstanding warrant but was not the suspect featured in the paper, Lavon Deconte Childs.
The elusive Childs, 24, who authorities said has an arrest history including numerous drug offenses, assaults and weapon violations, remains on the run.
The Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force, run by the U.S. Marshals Service, is composed of 28 federal, state and local agencies from Baltimore to Norfolk. The unit has captured more than 19,000 wanted fugitives since its creation in 2004.
