Pittsburgh police help nab Chester man who was one of Pa.'s most wanted fugitives
A Chester man who spent more than nine months as one of the 10 most wanted fugitives in Pennsylvania was arrested Monday night at a home in Pittsburgh’s North Side, the U.S. Marshals Service said.
Daryl Beckett Jr., 36, was arrested by Pittsburgh police and Pennsylvania State Police Special Emergency Response Team West at a home in the 1600 block of Brighton Place.
Beckett has been wanted since December 2024 in connection with a deadly shooting nearly two years ago on Interstate 95 in Delaware County.
Beckett is accused in the killing of Chris Gordy, who was found shot to death on Oct. 7, 2023.
Officials said more than 40 shots were fired from a rifle into a moving vehicle, striking and killing the driver and injuring the passenger.
