DALLAS, TEXAS MURDER SUSPECT ARRESTED IN NEW ORLEANS BY U. S. MARSHALS CRESCENT STAR FUGITIVE TASK FORCE

On the morning of January 13, 2007, the EDLA U.S. Marshals Crescent Star Fugitive Task Force (CSFTF) arrested Donald Greenup, 25 years old, on Washington Ave. New Orleans, LA at his place of employment without incident. He was wanted on a warrant issued January 12, 2007, out of Dallas County, Texas charging him with capital murder/capital felony.

Greenup, a New Orleans, LA native, is alleged to have committed the December 04, 2006, murder of Naymond Glover, 30 years old, along with and accomplice, Patrick McBride, 27 years old. McBride is also a New Orleans native. The affidavit for the warrant states that the murder took place during the course of an aggravated robbery in a business parking lot on Hatcher St. Dallas, Texas. Authorities believe that all three were there for a drug transaction and during the course of an argument Greenup shot Glover with a handgun one time in the upper chest. Greenup has a prior felony conviction.

The Dallas, Texas Police Department began an investigation of the Glover murder and developed Greenup and McBride as the suspects. Dallas Police Department detectives contacted the U.S. Marshals office in Dallas, Texas for assistance in locating both suspects. The Dallas U.S. Marshals sent CSFTF a request to assist in locating both. CSFTF missed McBride at a FEMA trailer park in Convent, LA the week prior to Christmas. The Middle District of Louisiana U.S. Marshals office arrested him in Baton Rouge last week. Investigators believe that Greenup left the Dallas area and returned to New Orleans, where his family was living on Freret St. He gained employment in New Orleans about a week ago.

The U.S. Attorney General recently committed additional resources to the New Orleans metro area several months ago. With added out of district Deputy U.S. Marshals provided by the Department of Justice, CSFTF has been able to assist the New Orleans Police Department by providing additional manpower for their warrant squad. This week CSFTF cleared 17 felony warrants. CSFTF is sponsored by the EDLA U.S. Marshals office and includes law enforcement officers from the New Orleans Police Department, Orleans Parish Criminal Sheriff’s Office, St. Charles Parish Sheriff’s Office, Louisiana Probation and Parole, Bogalusa Police Department, and U.S. Coast Guard Investigative Services.
