A Dipset associate known as Carlos "Zoo" Thompson was reportedly arrested in New Jersey on Friday (May 15) after being on the run from authorities for almost three years.

Thompson, who landed on America's Most Wanted list about one year ago after ordering a 15 year old child to be shot, was arrested in Sayreville after authorities were tipped off about his whereabouts.

Thompson had been on the New York Police Department's hitlist since 2007, when a warrant was issued for his arrest on allegations he gave a gun to 13-year-old L'mani Delima in 2005 and ordered the child to shoot Phoenix Garrett, 15, for selling bootleg CDs on the streets.

As we previously reported, cops say that on June 16th, 2005, while selling CDs on 144th St. in Harlem, NY, Garrett was approached by Carlos Thompson and a group of his cohorts.

After being threatened by Thompson, Garrett reportedly attempted to defend himself by pulling out a box cutter and "slashing at the older man's face."

A brief struggle broke up ending up with Garrett being beat and stomped by Thompson and his crew.

After Garrett managed to break away from the group, Thompson reportedly ordered a member of his crew to retrieve a .38 from his car.

The group eventually caught up with Garrett and continued the beating.

Thompson then ordered 13-year-old L'mani Delima, to shoot Garrett.

Garrett was fatally shot five times.

Delima was apprehended at the scene, and was sentenced to eight years in prison.
