Khanyae Kendall, 23, of Harrisburg, pleaded guilty to killing Denny Devoe while he was on-duty in 2017, according to US Marshal Martin J. Pane and court records.

Kendall was driving a stolen vehicle under the influence at the time of the fatal crash, court records show.

She was sentenced to a prison term of five to 12 years, but on Mar. 10, 2022, she was released under the supervision of the Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole, according to US Marshal Pane.

She removed her electronic ankle monitor and fled out of state on Mar. 16, Pane says.

She was arrested by members of the fugitive task force without incident in the 17000 block of King James Way in Gaithersburg, Maryland around 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, Apr. 14, according to Pane.

Kendall was put under the custody of Montgomery County authorities as she awaits her transfer back to Pennsylvania.

“It’s the Marshals Services’ duty to help ensure that those convicted of serious crimes are held fully accountable. It is my sincere hope that the citizens of Harrisburg will find some measure of comfort knowing Kendall is back in custody,” Pane stated.
