Harrisburg, PA – United States Marshal Martin J. Pane
announced today that the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) arrested 29-year old
Darryl Pierce in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
On May 11, 2011, the Harrisburg Bureau of Police responded
to the 500 block area of Maclay Street to investigate a possible shooting. It
is alleged that the victim was shot several times, causing serious bodily harm.
Investigation by the Harrisburg Bureau of Police identified the suspect as
Darryl Pierce.
On April 25, 2012 an arrest warrant was issued by
Magisterial District Judge Robert Jennings III in Harrisburg, charging Pierce
with:
One (1) count of
Criminal Attempt – Criminal Homicide
One (1) count of
Aggravated Assault
One (1) count of
Criminal Conspiracy/Aggravated Assault
One (1) count of
Carrying Firearm without a license
One (1) count of
Possess, use, control, sell, transfer manufacture Firearm
One (1) count of
Unlawful to fire any weapon/firearm/rocket
Earlier this month, the Harrisburg Bureau of Police
requested the assistance of the U.S. Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force in
the Middle District of Pennsylvania to locate and arrest Pierce. The Task Force
developed information that Pierce had fled Pennsylvania, possibly to the
Albuquerque, New Mexico area. An investigative lead was sent to U.S. Marshals
based in New Mexico.
On December 18, U.S. Marshals captured Pierce on Montgomery
Boulevard in Albuquerque. The fugitive was taken into custody without incident.
Pierce was turned over to the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Department for
processing and preliminary judicial proceedings.
United States Marshal Martin J. Pane stated, “The Task Force
places a high priority on arresting violent offenders, especially those who
have no regard for human life. This arrest ensured that an extremely dangerous
and unpredictable attempted homicide fugitive was taken off the streets.”
The USMS worked jointly in this investigation with officers
from the Harrisburg Bureau of Police. Additional assistance was obtained from
Marshals Service personnel in the District of New Mexico and the Bernalillo
County Sheriff’s Department.
The concept of all USMS-led fugitive task forces is to seek
out and arrest the nation’s most dangerous offenders.
