Terry Yelvington case: Arrest made in Polk County (black-on-White) homicide  POLK COUNTY -- A convicted felon "with a vendetta" was arrested Thursday and charged with first-degree murder in the August 2015 killing of a Lake Alfred softball coach, the Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said Friday. Alfred Ranard Jenkins, 54, is accused in the shooting death of James "Terry" Yelvington, 60, found Aug. 11 in front of his home on the 700 block of South Todhunter Way. Jenkins, of Winter Haven, and Yelvington previously had worked at the same company, Packaging Corporation of America. Yelvington, who still worked there, was the president of a workers union and had input in the hiring and firing of employees. During the course of the investigation, several coworkers mentioned Jenkins, who had been fired in 2009 related to his role as union treasurer. After Jenkins' firing, Yelvington found out that Jenkins had stolen union funds and forged union checks. Yelvington reported the crime, which resulted in Jenkins' 2011 arrest for grand theft. An acquaintance said that Jenkins told him that he went to Yelvington's home and had a physical altercation with him in his garage because Yelvington had gotten him fired and arrested. Neighbors later found Yelvington dead near his driveway and told investigators they heard gunshots in the early morning hours of Aug. 11. "Alfred Jenkins drove to Terry Yelvington's house with a vendetta. This convicted felon, who has been in and out of jail in four different states, and to state prison for violent crimes, blamed this hard-working, honest family man for getting arrested and fired, and because of that, he brutally and senselessly murdered Terry Yelvington," Judd said. In addition to first-degree murder, Jenkins is charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, armed robbery and tampering with evidence. - (Black-on-white) |

(Black) found guilty in 2006 killing of (White) Metra police officer - shot twice in the back of his head by cowardly black assassin  Every phone call over the past nine years has filled Pam Cook with a sense of dread. She worried that each could be yet another update about the investigation and legal proceedings related to the 2006 shooting death of her husband Thomas Cook, a Metra police officer. On Thursday, Pam Cook said she and her two children can enjoy life again after a Cook County jury convicted 28-year-old Jemetric Nicholson of first-degree murder in the killing of her husband, three months after a jury failed to reach a verdict the first time Nicholson was tried for the crime. "I don't have to worry about the phone ringing and being brought back to his murder again," she said. The jury deliberated for two days and was sequestered overnight before reaching its decision. Prosecutors said Nicholson worked with two other men to sneak up on Cook as he sat inside his marked squad car on Sept. 27, 2006. The officer was on special patrol near the 147th Street Metra station in Harvey when he was shot twice in the back of the head. - (Black-on-white) |

Trenton (black-on-White) murder trial ends in shocking acquittal despite DNA evidence  TRENTON, Mich. - George Hite and Aaron Marshall met at Greektown Casino a few days before the murder, which was their only meeting, according to Marshall. "Cellphone records showed that he had multiple phone calls between his cellphone and the victim's," said Sgt. Mike Oakley, a Trenton police detective. The Wayne County Medical Examiner's Office ruled 65-year-old Hite, who was found killed March 11, 2015, was strangled to death. He was a beloved figure in the Downriver community and a well-known youth league baseball ump. Marshall said he had never been Downriver. However, on the suspected day of the murder, Marshall's cellphone pinged a tower near the Woodhaven and Trenton area, which is far from his Detroit home. Marshall's DNA was on the cable used to bind the murder victim. That's something the defense never discredited. "Kind of a slight suggestion that maybe there was some DNA transfer from a couple days prior to the victim's death," said Oakley. No defense witnesses were called. Yet, after 2 and 1/2 hours of actual deliberation on Tuesday, the jury returned a not guilty verdict. "Complete shock. We thought it was a slam-dunk," said Oakley He believes Marshall is a murderer and is concerned that he's "out walking among us." - (Black-on-white) |

Man called ‘white boy’ before brutal attack in South Memphis  MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- A 23-year-old, Graham Patton, has both eyes blacked out, his nose swollen and bandages all over his face following an attack in South Memphis. "I mean he doesn't even look like the same person at all," Neysa Anderson, the victim's stepsister, said. Police said the attack happened on Tuesday, Jan. 5, at the Pendleton Pines Apartments near Pendleton and Ketchum. According to officers, Patton took a walk outside around 11 p.m. when two men he did not know came out of nowhere. "Something along the lines of 'hey white boy what are you doing around here? You're not supposed to be here' or something and that was it," Anderson explained. Anderson said Patton was knocked to the ground and severely beaten. "It completely crushed his entire sinus cavity. Like his -- all the bones under his eyes, his face were all completely crushed," Anderson said. Police said the bad guys who did the crime are still out there on the streets. "I was just very afraid," Michael Patton, the victim's father, said. Michael Patton lives in East Tennessee but said over the phone he has one question for his son's attackers. "Why? Why would you do something like that to somebody that had no reason to be attacking? Doesn't make sense," Michael Patton asked. The alleged racially motivated attack also did not make sense to people who live in that community. Neighbors said although crime happens there, people do not usually beat up others because of their skin color. "He wasn't robbed. There was nothing taken. It seemed to be just a violent hate crime," Anderson concluded. - (Black-on-white) - (Hatecrimes) |

Man kills girlfriend over arranged marriage, investigators say  LAKE WORTH, Fla. —A Lake Worth man is facing first-degree murder charges in the death of his girlfriend on Dec. 31. Deputies from the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office were called to investigate after a grandmother reported that she had not heard from her granddaughter, Lauren White, since New Year's Eve. The woman told authorities that White lived in apartment with her boyfriend, Yusef Jamal Green, 37, of Lake Worth. Deputies entered the home through an open window and found blood splattered on the floor and walls and White wrapped in a sheet, bedding covers, pillows and a rug behind the living-room couch. The medical examiner determined that White died of a laceration to her neck. Investigators found candles, air fresheners, an open bottle of Clorox bleach and cleaning solution around the apartment, which they said were used in an attempt to conceal the odor of the decomposing body. A notebook entry was found in the bedroom saying that White was unfaithful in their relationship. White's grandmother told deputies that despite being in a relationship with Green, White was married to a Romanian man, identified as Alexandru Nicolae. She said the arranged marriage was a business deal for Nicolae to become an American citizen. White was being paid $500 a month by Nicolae for the deal, the report said. Her relationship with Nicolae was kept a secret from Green, according to her grandmother. - (Black-on-white) |

Police Make Arrest In Connection To Two Carjackings At A Bensalem Wawa BENSALEM, Pa. – Police have made an arrest in connection with a carjacking at the gas pumps at Wawa on Route 1 in Bensalem. Authorities say a male approached the female victim as she was seated in her vehicle after filling up her gas tank on Sunday night.

This alerted several witnesses who intervened and chased the suspect. Police say this incident is related to a carjacking that occurred at the same location on December 30, 2015.

Under Fire For Not Voting Or Going To His Office, Philly’s City Commission Chair Keeps His Job  PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia City Commission re-elected its current chairman, at a meeting this morning, despite a barrage of criticism about his failure to vote or spend time in his office. The vote was a bit of a surprise because the newly elected Lisa Deeley was expected to get the position. Election watchdogs, the Committee of 70, and PAC, Philadelphia three-point-0, have been so concerned about Clark’s attendance, they’ve filed a Right to Know request for his work record. 3.0 executive director Alison Perelman says the concerns remain. “We continue to think that it’s critically important that elected officials satisfy the basic professional obligations of their office and frankly it remains unclear to us that Anthony Clark does that.” |

Parents of Toddler Found Wandering Barefoot in LOVE Park Face Eviction  After raising money to provide housing for the homeless parents of a toddler who was found wandering barefoot in LOVE Park last year, a Philadelphia ministry is close to evicting the couple. “This couple doesn’t want change,” said Brian Jenkins of CHOSEN 300. “What they want is a free ride. And we’re all out of free rides. We’re interested in providing avenues to people that want to try to get up.” Last October Mike Jones’ and Angelique Roland’s 2-year-old son Jeremiah was found wandering alone and barefoot in LOVE Park. Jones and Roland told police they had been kicked out of a home and had spent the night in a cardboard box near LOVE Park’s visitor’s center and Jeremiah had wandered off while they were sleeping. Jeremiah as well as his 4-year-old sister were then placed in DHS custody. After an outpouring of support from the public, CHOSEN 300, an inter-denominational Christian ministry that helps the homeless, launched a campaign to raise $12,000 to secure housing for the couple for one year. Yet barely 11 weeks into the lease, the group announced they had to end the commitment and evict the couple. |
