The U.S. Marshal's Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force needs help identifying an unknown male, believed to be traveling with wanted fugitive -- Joshua Gurto (pictured above in cap).

The Conneaut Police Department says Gurto is wanted for aggravated murder and rape of a 13 month old girl. 

Police say Gurto and the unknown male were last seen on Friday, October 13th in Girard, Pennsylvania possibly driving a dark grey Ford F-150 (pictured above).

The U.S. Marshals Service has reason to believe the men could be traveling in or throughout Western New York.

Gurto is 37 years old, about 5'10" and weighs around 145 pounds. Police say he has a deformed right ear, a misaligned jaw, and tattoos on his right arm. A reward is being offered for information to lead to his arrest. 

Anyone who can help in identifying the unknown male or the Ford F-150 is asked to call the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force at 1-866-4WANTED or text WANTED and tip to 84711. Tips can remain anonymous.
