According to an arrest report from the Miami-Dade Police Department, Johnthan Travon Williams, 29, of Miami, is facing charges of attempted first-degree murder and illegal possession of a firearm as a convicted felon.
A 29-year-old man was arrested Thursday after police say he shot a couple while they were sleeping inside an abandoned apartment in northwest Miami-Dade earlier this year.
Miami-Dade police said they were dispatched just before 1 a.m. on Jan. 6 near the 6700 block of Northwest 26th Avenue in reference to a shooting call.
Upon arrival, officers said they found 25-year-old Isaac Patrick Hepburn and 30-year-old Johneisha Kelveisha Mabry, both suffering from gunshot wounds.
Hepburn told police he got into a previous argument with two men at the apartment, which led to one of those men, who detectives later identified as Williams, pulling a gun out and shooting Hepburn and his girlfriend, an arrest report stated.
An arrest report states Hepburn suffered gunshot wounds to his left hip and left arm and Mabry suffered gunshot wounds to her back and right arm.
Authorities said both victims were transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center, where they were treated for their injuries.
Police said after the shooting occurred, they were later dispatched to the hospital to conduct an audio-recorded interview with Hepburn.
Hepburn told detectives that he got into an argument with another man prior to the incident over “property,” the report stated.
According to investigators, while Hepburn was with Mabry at the abandoned apartment complex, Williams and another individual confronted them.
Police said Williams forcibly removed a gold chain from Hepburn’s neck and the other individual instructed Williams to shoot the victims.
