CHESTER, PENNSYLVANIA - Hours after two men were ambushed and shot multiple times, one fatally, as they drove home from their Chester High School reunion, one of their former classmates phoned a friend in prison to seemingly gloat about it.
Daryl Beckett, 36, said “life is good” in the October 2023 phone call, made not long after Christopher Gordy, 41, was killed as he drove on I-95 in Upper Chichester Township, according to court documents.
And, police said Tuesday, Beckett seemed to insinuate he was the one who pulled the trigger over a decades-old high school grudge.
“I still got it in me, boy,” Beckett told Bryant Foreman, another Chester man serving a life sentence in an unrelated murder. “It’s like muscle memory.”
After two years on the run, named one of the state’s most wanted fugitives by the U.S. Marshals, Beckett was taken into custody in Pittsburgh late Monday. He remained in custody there, awaiting extradition back to Delaware County.
