(Philadelphia, PA) Thirty-six-year-old Daryl Beckett of Chester, Pennsylvania, a wanted man who is facing murder charges from the Pennsylvania State Police, was taken into custody without incident yesterday by members of the U.S. Marshals Western Pennsylvania Fugitive Task Force after he was found in a residence located in the 1600 block of Brighton Place in Pittsburgh that night. Investigators from the U.S. Marshals Service learned Beckett was hiding in that residence in Pittsburgh. An arrest warrant was executed by members of both the Pennsylvania State Police Special Emergency Response Team (SERT) West and the Pittsburgh Police Department once Beckett was noticed by a task force surveillance team. Beckett is one of the Pennsylvania State Police’s Top 10 Most Wanted Fugitives. Beckett got charges of murder because he was connected to a fatal shooting that occurred on October 7th, 2023 in Delaware County. Beckett allegedly used a rifle to fire more than forty shots into a vehicle that was moving and traveling on I-95 in Upper Chichester, which killed the driver and hurt the passenger. The driver of the vehicle that passed away was forty-one-year-old Chris Gordy of Brookhaven, Pennsylvania. Beckett was added to the Pennsylvania State Police’s Top 10 Most Wanted Fugitives in December of 2024, which is when Pennsylvania State Police investigators from their Troop K Media barracks obtained a homicide warrant for Beckett.
