He left more than just his prints at the scene, police say.

A Memphis home invasion suspect who lost his finger when a victim fought back and sliced it off with a sword in 2006 has been captured after eluding justice for nearly 17 years, according to court documents.

Police arrested Terence Stewart, 45, on July 27 at the scene of an accident after discovering multiple active warrants, a Memphis Police Department spokeswoman told Fox News Digital.

In the early morning hours of Saturday, Nov. 4, 2006, Stewart and another man barged into a home guns blazing, firing shots and demanding money from the eight people asleep inside, according to the original criminal complaint.

The suspected home invaders allegedly pistol-whipped one victim, identified as Guillermo Tobar, knocking him out before dragging him into another room, police alleged at the time.

They took cash and wallets from four other victims.

But Tobar woke up.

Not a sword to a gun fight. Mr. Stewart and friend used their guns as props to terrorize the occupants- no fight involved. Now Mr. Tobar, just recovered from being pistol-whipped, grabbed a weapon and counted coup. He brought a sword to school.

Man armed with knife dies during police-involved shooting on Roosevelt Island: NYPD

By Rebecca White, Kerry Burke and Thomas Tracy
Cops shot and killed a man armed with a knife during a close-quarters clash inside the lobby of a Roosevelt Island apartment building, authorities said Saturday.

The officers were responding to a call of a domestic disturbance inside the Main St. building on the East River island about 11:30 p.m. when the 21-year-old suspect charged out of a lobby elevator, Assistant Chief Christine Bastedenbeck, the commanding officer of Queens North, said.

Three of the four responding officers had just stepped onto one elevator as the emotionally disturbed man ran out of the other, Bastedenbeck said.

“(He) moved quickly to the officer securing the door, swinging the knife at the officer, who retreated out the lobby,” Bastedenbeck said at an early morning press conference. “He then moved toward the elevator and the officers inside the elevator.”
