Two suspects in Fort Pierce killing arrested in Hollywood

September 11th, 2009 by Post Staff

WEST PALM BEACH — Two men suspected of killing a Fort Pierce convenience store owner were arrested in Hollywood on Friday, Deputy U.S. Marshal Manny Puri said.

Donald “DJ” Isaiah, 24, and Anthony “Rude Boy” Symonette, 21, are charged with first-degree murder in connection with last Friday’s shooting of Parag Patel during a robbery of A&M Discount Beverage on Georgia Avenue and Okeechobee Road.

The two were caught on a surveillance tape and a tipster alerted agents they were staying with a relative in Hollywood, Puri said. About seven agents surrounded the duplex. When those inside wouldn’t open the door, officers broke a window and forced their way in, Puri said.

The two were driven in separate vehicles to the federal courthouse in West Palm Beach where they were transferred into other SUVs and driven to Fort Pierce to be jailed.

An alleged accomplice, Mahogany Taquilla Alexander, 29, was arrested the day after Patel was murdered. Another suspect is still at large.

Police said they have also linked Deondravious Lamar St. Fleur to the murder. The 23-year-old on Wednesday was charged with being an accessory after the fact. Police say he drove them to a Wal-Mart in Port St. Lucie after the robbery in which an undisclosed amount of cash was taken.

    Warm up the electric chair Florida. These rotten wastes of skin should never be on the streets. I promise you they have extensive criminal records. How much tax payers dollars are we going to spend on these types of credents before we decide to just Bar B Que them in thier early 20’s. Maybe get them before they breed.

    Fry these scumbags!

  3. Deondravious Family Says:

    Tim Burke/Palm Beach Post, you need to stick to the facts because the detectives are denying must of the stories you are posting about Deondravious, which is a huge defamation of character, you are presenting unsubstantiated rumors and outright lies as fact. Focus on the killers, “accessory in fact” they say, thats the whole county in that case, you are writing up stories & posting up pictures and video’s of Deondravious, like he is the main suspect. He did not have anything to do with it, if anything he is “guilty of association” and then they posted a huge picture in the newspaper of Deon & did not even put any of the actual alledged robbers pictures up, just a story (whats up with that), back up off of Deon, he has great defense attorneys that are printing everything that you are posting. I suggest you get your stories together if you want to keep your job and not get sued for liable & slander. Start focusing on the main suspects that killed Mr. Patel and start posting up more pictures and videos of them. Leave Deon alone, he had nothing to do with this, his name will be cleared, & when it is we will be expecting a new story about the true facts & a video of you apologizing!!!

    Sincerely
    HIS LOYAL FAMILY

    I don’t care if Deondravious was the triggerman or not. He is just as guilty as the others because I believe he knew what was going to happen, even if by association or by being an accessory! Should have been home or doing something productive that was right. If you hang with the wrong crew, then you’re going to get blamed as well if something bad happens.

  5. Deon is Innocent Says:

    Deon is not a animal and he did not aide in any crime. Any name that Mahogany is mentioning they are following up on. Deon had no idea about the murder. We are in touch with the detectives every day and they are denying that they said anything that Mr. Greenlee is posting, he is twisting everything up. Deon is not a accomplice, let the detectives do there work. Don’t post false stories or be quick to past judgement. The only reason they started posting pictures & videos of Deon is because they were trying to pin the killing on him, that is until they caught this Mahogany girl & then the truth started to come out. So then they knew they made a mistake but they had to throw some kind of false statements out there along with the lies from Mahogany (which she is protecting the 3rd suspect)to lure Deon in for questioning the only way they felt he would come in is if they got a warrant some how. It went from Deon being the killer, to just questioning a 23 yearold, to accessory after the fact. Make up your mind?

    Everybody knows everybody in Fort Pierce. We all went to the same schools, summer camps, and churches. etc. Thats what I mean when I say “guilty of association” then that means everybody from Fort Pierce is a accessory and needs to be arrested because we all know each other. Deon was just hanging out with friends, he had no knowledge of any crime. Let me see a show of hands if you ever took friends or relatives to Walmart or to rent a car, or to hang out or run any errands for that matter. Then if so that makes you all accessories and ANIMALS if thats what you all want to call him. Because Deon obviously has
    physic powers and he looked into his magical crystal ball and saw that there was a crime commited before going to walmart. Then the way the story is being posted is “That while he was transporting them around (not hanging out with friends thats holding a big secret from him) he did not know anything until after he was done taking them to run errands and dropped everyone off, Mahogany mentioned something about the robbery. It does not make any since. What Mr. Greenlee is trying to say between all his jibberish is that Deon had no knowledge what so ever of what happened the entire time he was hanging out with them until he was left alone with Mahogany and she then started to speak about what happened prior. So the rental car clerk and the tellers at walmart are all accessories.

    An accessory is distinguished from an accomplice, who normally is present at the crime and participates in some way(Mahogany).An accessory must generally have knowledge that a crime is being or will be committed (Deon had no knowledge that a crime was or had been committed).A person with such knowledge may become an accessory by helping or encouraging the criminal in some way, or simply by failing to report the crime to proper authority.( Deon turned himself in because he had no knowledge of the crime and he had nothing to do with it, but they don’t elaborate on that). Right now all Deon is worried about is getting back home to his twin sons and his mom & sisters. His sisters and mom are always in the car with him the police would have charged them as accessories as well. It was just a With Hunt until they got the true suspects but yet they are still persecuting him in the Media. Simple minded people as yourselves are so quick to judge someone by what the media puts out there for you to see or read. None of you know the true story, you just know whats being put out there to bait you in. All of you simple minded people are so conditioned by the media its sad. Its funny how you let them control your train of thought. Did anyone ever tell you not to believe everything you hear. Oh and by the way Mr. Greenlee, Detective Cuti is the main detective over the case, so if you claim to write truth & fact why don’t you speak to him (the source) instead of your make believe sources that has no idea what is going on. I wish we did have 25k laying around to bail him out, but we are not that fortunate due to the outcomes of the economy, we are all helping out with his attorneys and they are working towards a bond reduction so we can get Deon home where he belongs. My heart goes out to the Patel family. Deon had nothing to do with this horrific crime. So stop dragging his name in the dirt.
