MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Detectives are looking for a 22-year-old for his alleged involvement in the robbery of a man who had advertised his cell phone for sale online.
Broward Sheriff's Office has obtained a warrant for Emmanuel Innocent for the robbery, which took place May 15th in Deerfield Beach.
Around 7:15 PM, deputies responded to the scene of a shooting in the 1200 block of West of Hillsboro Boulevard. The victim, who had listed his cell phone for sale on Craig's List, had shot at a group of suspects whom he had met with to complete the sale.
According to BSO, after investigating, detectives found that four suspects held the victim at gunpoint and took him in their car after stealing his phone and money. As the driver slowed down to make a turn, the victim jumped out of the car and fired several shots at the car. One of the bullets hit a tire, disabled the car, and the suspects fled on foot.
BSO deputies have apprehended Yodilion Jeanty, 23, and Kensel Kercius, 21, that same night. The third suspect, Emmanuel Innocent, remains at large and is wanted on a warrant for armed robbery with a firearm and kidnapping with a firearm. The fourth robber has not been identified.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS (8477).
A reward of up to $3,000 is available for information leading to an arrest.
