A week-long investigation by Boynton Beach police led to the arrests of three suspects - Ja'Quan Jeudi, Jamarrion Moore, and Javonte Sheppard - for their alleged roles in a deadly armed robbery attempt that left a 20-year-old man dead. Detectives say the trio had arranged a drug deal with the victim, Hakeen Reynolds, with the true intention of robbing him at gunpoint. During the attempted robbery, Jeudi allegedly shot Reynolds twice in the back, resulting in his death.
