What happened: The second of two teens arrested in a fatal Boynton Beach sh00ting was denied bond on Monday.
Background: Sebastian Abdul Miller was ordered held without bond on a first-degree murder charge and $25,000 on a separate weapons charge. Miller, 17, was taken into custody by the U.S.
Marshals Service in connection with the fatal sh00ting of 19-year-old Nigel Beckford. Miller faces charges of first-degree murder with a firearm and discharging a firearm from a vehicle.
A court-ordered GPS ankle monitor ended up handing police the exact trail they needed to bust a 17-year-old Boynton Beach teen for a deadly August drive-by sh00ting — even after he sliced the device off the very next night. A second 17-year-old suspect , identified in records as Jamill Jean-Baptiste of Lantana, was also arrested and charged with first-degree murder with a firearm.
A judge ordered Jean-Baptiste held without bond on the murder charge and set a $50,000 bond on a second count, ordering him to have no contact with the VIC's family. Emergency dispatchers and automated sh0t-detection technology flagged a barrage of firearm discharge around 4:57 p.m.
on Saturday, August 8, near the 100 block of Northwest 8th Avenue.
