There seems to be no limit to the depths that people will go to harm and hurt other human beings, but the case of the murder of a Texas teen is particularly disturbing. Dallas police say 13-year-old Shavon Randle, found dead in a Dallas home last weekend was likely killed because one of her relatives was dating someone who stole drugs.
Two men, Darius Fields and Devontae Owens, may have kidnapped the girl in retaliation for an alleged drug theft, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by NBC.
“The suspects told her, ‘give us our s— back or we are going to kill [Shavon],” the affidavit alleges.
Police arrested Owens and Laquon Wilkerson over the weekend in connection with the death and alleged kidnapping, officials announced in a statement on Facebook. They have since taken Fields and Laporshya Polley into custody as well in connection to the case, jail records show.
Officials were initially looking for Michael Titus in connection with the case, but have since announced that he was found dead in the Dallas home along with Shavon.
Owens has been charged with aggravated kidnapping and is being held on $500,000 bail and Wilkerson is being held on $1 million bail on one count of aggravated kidnapping for ransom, jail records show. Both men are being held at Dallas County Jail.
Polley was arrested after police allegedly found her attempting to flush marijuana down the toilet at a motel she stayed in with Fields, according to the affidavit.
It was not immediately clear if any of the suspects had entered pleas or retained attorneys.
Shavon was last seen Wednesday morning, and police issued an AMBER Alert for the child that evening, according to a statement on the city of Lancaster’s Facebook page.
