Case Story |
|
| |
Shooting In Shelby |
|
| |
The search for one of New York's most violent fugitives actually starts hundreds of miles away at a bloody scene in Shelby, North Carolina. In May of 1999, Shelby had a triple shooting, one killed. Police slowly put together the events of that night.
Police say a small-time drug dealer was hanging out on the corner when a man approached, something was said, and then the man pulled out a weapon a shot him, point blank. Then, according to officials, the gunman got back in his truck and shot two more people in the same apartment complex before he left the scene. |

Was It A New Yorker? |
|
| |
The only clue police had to the shooter's identity came from a 911 call stating that some "boys from New York" were to blame. Police canvassed the neighborhood and learned that the guy from New York was Javon Capers.
Police traced Capers from Shelby back to his hometown of Far Rockaway, New York, a strange section of the city where beautiful beaches are just steps away from some of the most dangerous projects in the city. It was there that police say Javon Capers grew up and developed a nickname - the Joker. |

Wanted Man On The Run |
|
| |
Police had difficulty locating witnesses that would testify against Capers. But finally, a shooting victim did come forward. In all, the Joker is wanted for nine shootings, suspected in dozens others, both in Shelby and New York. But police have no idea where he is or who his next victim will be. |
