DEARBORN, Mich. (WXYZ) - Two suspects are still missing in connection with the FBI raids that were conducted in

metro Detroit

Wednesday.

Meanwhile, police have captured another suspect in the wake of the raids.

The FBI announced that Mujahid Carswell, also known as Mujahid Abdullah, was taken into custody by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police at around 1:00 p.m. Thursday. He was captured in Windsor and taken into custody without incident. He is being detained by the Canadian Border Patrol on immigration violations.

The Ummah was originally headed by Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, formerly known as H. Rapp Brown. He is serving

life in prison

at Colorado's supermax facility for the murder of two police officers in Georgia. He was also reportedly part of the "

Black Panther

" group back in the 1960s and '70s.

Most of the suspects surrendered peacefully during yesterday's raid at a warehouse at

Michigan Avenue

and Miller. The alleged ringleader, Luqman Ameen Abdullah, pulled a gun and shot at police. He was shot and killed by FBI agents. An FBI dog was also killed in the exchange of gunfire.
