Darrell Glover, 26

U.S. marshals are looking for a man D.C. police say shot four people over a video game console.

On Oct. 24, authorities said, 26-year-old Darrell Glover argued with four people in Southeast Washington after they accused him of stealing an XBox 360 video console. That part of the city has been hit with a rash of break-ins, usually while the residents are at work, on vacation or just out running errands. The crooks are looking for video game systems, laptop computers, digital cameras and televisions.

Glover took umbrage to the verbal attacks and pulled out a handgun, police said. He shot each of the accusers once. No one suffered life-threatening injuries.

"Glover pulled out a gun and shot four people over an argument, he obviously is an incredibly dangerous individual with extremely violent tendencies," said Rob Fernandez, commander of the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force. "He cannot be allowed to be free and endanger more innocent people. We have tried diligently to locate him but need the metropolitan community to join our search and help us find him."

Glover, a resident of Southeast, is believed to be hiding out somewhere there or in the Northeast quadrant of the city.

Glover is described as a black male, 6-feet-1-inches tall and 250 pounds with short hair.

Anyone with information on Glover's whereabouts can call the U.S. Marshals Service at 301-489-1717 or 800-336-0102. The Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force, run by the U.S. Marshals Service, is comprised of 30 federal, state and local agencies from Baltimore to Norfolk. The unit has captured more than 29,000 wanted fugitives since its creation in 2004.
