MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — U.S. Marshals in Alabama and Florida are seeking a fugitive wanted for murder, attempted murder and armed robbery.

According to a news release from the U.S. Marshals Service, Raymond Pruitt stabbed his girlfriend on April 5 and then shot her as she tried to escape. Since then, Pruitt has been identified in five armed robberies in Montgomery, Ozark, Troy, and Prattville, Alabama.

The Escambia County Sheriff's Office in Pensacola, Florida, also identified Pruitt as a suspect in an armed robbery in Pensacola on Tuesday where he allegedly shot and killed a store clerk.

The release says Pruitt is 5-foot-3, 170 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.

He was last seen driving a late model, silver Hyundai SUV with Alabama license plate number 3AT3440.
