Murder Fugitive Caught in Wakulla County

November 10, 2012
Press Release

A 21-year-old Bradenton man wanted for murder in Manatee County was arrested by Wakulla County Sheriff's Office deputies following a traffic pursuit at 12:22 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 11, according to Sheriff Donnie Crum.

Kwame Jaquavius Henri was arrested a short distance into Leon County just past the northeastern section of Wakulla County. Deputies Scott Powell and Marshall Taylor received information about a vehicle driving excessive speeds northbound in the southbound lane on Woodville Highway.

The deputies attempted to initiate a traffic stop with emergency lights and siren but Henri continued northbound a short distance into Leon County nearly striking another vehicle head-on before stopping.

Once at the suspect vehicle, Deputy Powell smelled the odor of marijuana and observed the driver to be unsteady on his feet while attempting to get out of the vehicle. Henri gave the deputy multiple false names before granting permission to search his vehicle.

Marijuana and an Oxycodone pill were discovered inside the vehicle. Deputy Vicki Mitchell transported Henri to the Wakulla County Jail without incident. Once at the jail marijuana was located behind the suspect's ear and jail personnel discovered Henri's true identity.

The suspect agreed to submit a breath and urine sample and FHP Trooper Mike Simmons assisted by conducting the tests and determined Henri to be impaired. The suspect's identity was processed through the NCIC/FCIC data base and deputies discovered that Henri was wanted for an outstanding murder warrant in Manatee County with a no bond order. The suspect's license was also determined to be suspended.

Henri faces charges in Wakulla County of DUI, fleeing and attempting to elude, knowingly operating a motor vehicle while license is suspended or revoked, possession of a controlled substance, possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana and smuggling contraband into a detention facility.

The Manatee County Sheriff's Office listed Henri as a fugitive of the law. In Manatee, Henri is wanted for murder, possession of a controlled substance, attempting to tamper with a witness and possession of cannabis.

The Falls

In a smoke-filled dive in Buffalo, NY, David Marx tells us his tale of obsession, betrayal, and murder - leading him to an uncertain fate "underneath Niagara Falls." David tells us how his beautiful redheaded ex-girlfriend, Jennifer Barnes, has disappeared and how he ended up the guardian of the 2.5 million dollars that "was supposed to have bought Jen's safety." Three nights ago, David finds police detectives Crane and O'Keefe trashing his apartment. Taking him to Police Headquarters, they interrogate David about Jennifer's disappearance, and Crane - in the name of Jen's father, the rich and powerful Ethan Barnes - brutalizes poor David in hopes of getting a confession out of him. When falsely accused, what's a film noir hero to do but search for the truth himself?

Charges dismissed in grisly Ypsilanti Township triple homicide

Image
For nearly six years, they were locked up facing a possible death sentence for a grisly 2001 triple homicide in Ypsilanti Township. On Friday, a federal judge dismissed the charges against Deondre Byrd and three other men after a federal prosecutor said new evidence came to light last Friday that prevented the government from taking the case to trial. It was the second time in three years that Byrd escaped murder charges. He has been imprisoned in recent years for both the triple homicide and the slaying of a 16-year-old girl in Ann Arbor, but he has been convicted on only a federal gun charge. "Obviously, I'm pretty upset that almost 11 years later, we still don't have any answers," said Christy Brown, 30, a close family friend of the victims of the triple homicide. She said she got a call from federal prosecutors Thursday saying the case was being dropped, but they wouldn't elaborate. "I was very surprised. I honestly thought they were making some...

Image
FLINT, MI -- There have been 189 murders in the city since 2010. Below is a map of the locations of each murder in the last three years, as well as the names of the slain on Flint's battlefield. The spike in murders occurred almost immediately after large-scale layoffs in March of 2010. By year's end the city had set a record with 66 murders, breaking the previous mark of 61 set in 1986. Killing continued in 2011 with 57 murders. A look at the map shows the majority of the murders took place on the north and east sides, historically the most economically depressed areas of the city. Just 25 murders in the last three years occurred south of Court Street. The map is color-coded by year. Green markers denote 2012 murders while red markers are from 2011 and blue from 2010. 2012 No. 1: Jan. 11: Kevin Berger, 55, died Jan. 11 after a Jan. 10 double shooting at his home on Keller Avenue near Welch Boulevard around 10:15 pm. Darius McGee, 25, was also critically shot. He survi...

Manslaughter charges dropped against Keys man accused of letting girl drive drunk before she crashed and died

Image
A manslaughter charge against a Marathon man accused of helping cause the death of a teenager by letting her drive drunk has been dropped due to what prosecutors say is lack of evidence. Michael Mearns, 26, the son of former Marathon Mayor Randy Mearns and grandson of former Marathon Councilwoman Margie Mearns, had been charged with manslaughter by culpable negligence following a Feb. 25, 2011, crash in which 17-year-old Amber Kogelis of Lower Matecumbe Key died. "You have to prove he knew she was drinking," State Attorney Catherine Vogel said Wednesday. "It's clear we do not have evidence of the impairment." That's even though an autopsy revealed Kogelis had a blood alcohol content of .125. In Florida, .08 is considered legally drunk. "It didn't rise to the level beyond a reasonable doubt," said Assistant State Attorney Paunece Ramage. "She wasn't stumbling, she wasn't holding herself up" in a video prosecutors re...
