Tyler Kingsley Manyou, 23, from Pembroke Pines, has been charged with second-degree murder in relation to the fatal shooting of 13-year-old Johvon Taylor on January 4. Taylor was found with gunshot wounds to the abdomen near the 1300 block of Northwest 6th Avenue and later succumbed to his injuries at Jackson South Medical Center despite airlifting him there for treatment.
Authorities initiated an investigation and tracked down the car believed to have been used by suspects involved in the shooting, eventually leading them to Manyou. Although its motive remains unknown, it appears Taylor wasn’t intended as the intended target – in addition to her injuries, she also sustained injuries but survived them.
Tragic events have shocked and unnerved communities throughout Florida. Investigators continue to piece together details surrounding Manyou’s arrest; however, questions surrounding the motive remain open for discussion. Contact us for fire watch services today
