A Jacksonville man arrested Monday after authorities say he shot a man in the face at a Clay County party is being linked to Sunday’s deaths of two brothers outside a Golden Corral.
Jallil Dequan Graves, 19, is the accused triggerman, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said in announcing charges against four men with two counts each of murder and robbery in Sunday’s shooting at the Normandy Boulevard restaurant.
Killed were 24-year-old Andrew Bohannon, and 19-year-old Matthew Bohannon,
Graves was initially charged with attempted murder in a July 7 shooting outside an Orange Park home on Woodbriar Drive. Jon Barrett Milam II, 20, armed himself in confronting a group of people who crashed a party at his home. Milam was shot in the face and was in critical condition.
In Sunday’s double homicide, Avery Damon Wood, 19, is suspected of setting the drug deal and robbery in motion, Lt. Rob Schoovoner said. Wood rode with Graves, George Carter, 21, and Steven Bennett, 18, to rob the Bohannons, Schoovoner said.
He said the robbery happened quickly, lasting no more than seconds. He said Graves is accused of going around the truck the Bohannons were sitting in, shooting Andrew Bohannon first and then Matthew Bohannon outside the truck.
Then he grabbed some of the roughly $600 worth of marijuana brought to the drug transaction, the lieutenant said.
Schoovoner said Graves expressed remorse, saying he’ll “probably get the needle for this.â€
While a .40-caliber handgun was recovered, the Sheriff’s Office is waiting on ballistic tests from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement before it can confirm it was used in either case.
