Harrisburg, PA – Today, U.S. Marshal Martin J. Pane announced
the arrest of Jayluen Deandre Childs, a 26-year old man with past
addresses in Chambersburg and Washington D.C.
On August 4, 2020,
the Chambersburg Police Department investigated a shooting near the
first block of West Liberty Street that resulted in the wounding of a
man. As a result of their investigation, detectives obtained an arrest
warrant charging Childs with Criminal Attempt – Homicide, Aggravated
Assault, and lesser included offenses. Attempts to find Childs in
Chambersburg were unsuccessful and the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS)
Fugitive Task Force was asked to apprehend him.
Today at about

near the intersection of 16th Street SE and Hunter Place SE in
Washington D.C. He was turned over to the Metropolitan (Washington)
Police Department for booking and arraignment.
United States
Marshal Martin J. Pane stated, “The coordination and cooperation
demonstrated by law enforcement in this case led directly to a dangerous
fugitive being taken off the streets. It is our top priority to arrest
violent crime fugitives, especially those who have no regard for human
life.”
The USMS Fugitive Task Force in the Middle District of
Pennsylvania is comprised of 21 state, county and local police agencies
and has a long-standing relationship with the Chambersburg Police
Department.
