A Florida hitman recorded himself counting payment for a murder he committed that also injured a 3-year-old child.
Javon Carter is accused of killing Miami International Airport TSA officer Le’Shonte Jones as she stood outside her apartment in the Naranja neighborhood on May 3rd. Just hours later, Carter recorded himself counting stacks of $100 bills. In the 35-second clip, he stated, “Another day in the office.”
Investigators believe that Carter was hired by hairstylist Jasmine Martinez, who used funds from a fraudulently obtained PPP loan to pay for the hit. She allegedly withdrew more than $10,000 in April to pay Carter. Martinez allegedly wanted Jones dead following a longstanding feud that was partially over Jones dating Martinez’s ex-boyfriend. Martinez had previously been arrested for hitting Jones, though that case was dropped. The murder coordinator was arrested again in 2018 for beating up the victim. After Martinez’s new boyfriend, Kelly Nelson attacked Jones outside the courthouse, she was threatened not to testify. Sadly, Jones was shot multiple times before she could get justice in the case.
Carter has been charged with first-degree murder, first-degree murder with a deadly weapon, conspiring to commit first-degree murder, two counts of tampering with a witness, and two counts of weapons possession by a felon. Martinez has also been charged with first-degree murder, first-degree murder with a deadly weapon, and conspiring to commit first-degree murder. In addition, she faces two counts of tampering with a witness and interception of communication.
Alleged middleman Romiel Robinson, who is Martinez’s most recent boyfriend, is charged with putting her in touch with the hitman.
