Two city men have been indicted in connection with the 2013 shooting death of 19-year-old Devahje Bing.
Bing was gunned down at the Oakland Park apartment complex around 5 p.m. on May 25, 2013. He was shot several times in the upper torso, police say, and he later died at the hospital. Court documents in the case say that two witnesses identified the shooter, and that the shooting was captured by surveillance cameras.
According to court documents, Kareem McNeil, 23, allegedly handed a gun to the shooter moments before the shooting, and that exchange was captured on video as well. A 15-year-old suspect, later identified in court as Tahj Laws who is now 17, was arrested a couple days after the shooting and charged in connection with Bing’s death.
Prosecutors say that Bing and Laws had a verbal argument, and that Laws shot Bing after McNeil handed him a gun. Laws, who was on house arrest and wearing a GPS monitoring device at the time of the shooting, then walked back to his home, according to prosecutors in the case.
Last week, a grand jury indicted both McNeil and Laws on charges of murder, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and unlawful possession of a handgun.
McNeil remains in jail on $500,000 bail. Laws is being held on $1 million bail.
