U.S. marshals are looking for a fugitive carjacker who has been wanted for nearly a year, and they are asking the public to help bring him to justice. Twenty-four-year old Marque Harris is wanted by two agencies for carjackings in Prince George’s County, authorities said. Since January, he’s been wanted by the Prince George’s Sheriff’s Office for violating the conditions of his probation for a carjacking there. And he’s also wanted by the Maryland state parole for violating his terms for another carjacking.
Marshals deputies said it’s time that Harris complies with the law.
“Harris doesn’t have a long criminal history, but he’s got a significant one,” said Matt Burke, supervisory inspector for the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force. “In one month Harris would have been out for one year. We want the Examiner’s readers to help prevent Harris from celebrating this anniversary.”
Harris has a history of arrests in Maryland and D.C. for armed carjacking, distribution of marijuana, auto theft and eluding police. He has lived on Church Street in Brentwood and Queens Chapel Road in Mount Rainier. He is known to hang out in Northeast Washington, and last year he was arrested in the 1400 block of Holbrook Street NE on marijuana charges.
Harris is 6-feet-3 and 180 pounds with a tattoo on his chest.
Anyone with information about Harris whereabouts should call the task force at 301-489-1717.
Tips from readers of The Washington Examiner have led directly to the arrest of at least 24 fugitives in just over two years. The “Most Wanted” feature appears each Thursday on the Crime & Punishment page.
The Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force, run by the U.S. Marshals Service, includes 30 federal, state and local agencies from Baltimore to Norfolk. The unit has captured more than 31,000 wanted fugitives since its creation in 2004.
