Around 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 11, 2019, the victim had just met with a black female at the boat ramp when she was approached by two black male suspects (one positively identified as De'Julian Jenkins) who immediately began hitting the victim and demanding money. The suspects fled on foot but Jenkins was located and taken into custody shortly thereafter.
Detectives are still looking to identify Jenkins' accomplice. If you have any information about this incident you are urged to contact Detective Grant at 863-298-6914.
