Bloods Gang Member in Top 10 Most Wanted Apprehended by U.S. Marshals

Darnell Lockett of Dallas, affiliated with the Bloods gang, was arrested on September 29, 2023. Members of the U.S. Marshals North Texas Fugitive Task Force and U.S. Marshals Joint East Texas Fugitive Task Force, in collaboration with the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Special Agents, Collin County Sheriff’s Office, McKinney Police Department, and Dallas Police Department, successfully took Lockett into custody last week.

Lockett’s legal troubles date back to October 2019 when he was convicted of deadly conduct, leading to a two-year confinement in a Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) facility. After his release in 2021, he faced further charges. In April 2023, he was arrested by the Plano Police Department for unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon, for which he was later released on bond.

The McKinney Police Department had been actively pursuing Lockett since July 5, 2023, when they issued warrants for his arrest related to charges of murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Collin County also issued additional warrants, including those for unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon and two counts of manufacture/delivery of a controlled substance.

The successful arrest of Joshua Darnell Lockett was made possible by the assistance of vigilant citizens. A Crime Stoppers reward will be provided to the individual whose tip led to Lockett’s capture.
