3 Arrested In Decade-Old Murder Of Tampa Man

TAMPA, FL — Authorities have arrested and charged three people in connection with the decade-old killing of a Tampa man, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office announced.

On March 2, 2014, Hillsborough deputies found 23-year-old Damien Bowie fatally shot at the Avesto Del Rio Apartments in Tampa.

More than 10 years after the killing, investigators determined Javonte Dennard, 33, allegedly shot Bowie in the parking lot after attacking him. Dennard, who is currently serving time in prison on unrelated charges, was charged with second-degree murder in connection with Bowie's death.

Detectives also arrested 37-year-old Deandra Jenkins and charged him with principal to second-degree murder. Finally, authorities arrested 36-year-old Brittney White for accessory after the fact and fabricating false physical evidence.

"Even after nearly a decade, our detectives never gave up on seeking justice for Mr. Bowie and his family," Sheriff Chad Chronister said in a statement. "We are finally able to make these arrests and hold the responsible individuals accountable for this senseless act of violence."

The investigation into the case remains ongoing.
