HERNDON HOMES BOYS
On Aug. 23, the Herndon Homes Boys are believed to have killed Roker's cousin, Terrance "Prep" Brown, who was riddled with 9mm automatic gunfire in apparent retaliation for Minter's death.
No one has been charged, but informants told police the Miami Boys showed up at the scene of the slaying. "Roker gives the order, `I want some blood,' " Detective Price said.
The Miami Boys began plotting their revenge on the spot, taking the keys to Mr. Brown's girlfriend's Herndon Homes apartment from the dead man's pocket. They allegedly held her captive for two days beginning Aug. 25 while they eavesdropped on the community through the open windows of her apartment to find out who killed Mr. Brown.
On Aug. 27, they found their mark.
"It's summer, and they've got the windows up, and Leonard Antoine Williams stands outside and is bragging about his participation in the shooting of Terrance Brown," Detective Price said.
"Then, they [the Miami Boys] get in an argument about who's going to shoot him. They all race for the door to shoot, and [one of them] sticks the gun out the window and shoots him. The rest then light him up. Then they run through the project shooting people at random - a 15-year-old girl in the foot and another man."
Suspect nabbed at funeral
Officers, who already had an arrest warrant for Roker, received a tip he would be attending his cousin's Sept. 1 funeral in Miami.
Roker was pulled from the funeral procession and arrested by Miami police.
Informants told police Roker was driving a rented van in the procession in hopes of recruiting "more members for his gang."
