One man arrested, two others in custody in connection with Amanda Blackburn murder case
Fox News 59 ^ | November 23, 2015 | Russ McQuaid and Amanda Rakes

Three suspects have been detained in connection with the sexual assault and murder of Amanda Blackburn, a pastor's pregnant wife who was shot during a home invasion robbery on Nov. 10.

Sources tell FOX59 the three men will also be charged in three additional burglaries, including a rape at the Westlake Apartments.

Police say the men in custody are Larry Taylor, 18; Jalen Watson, 21; and Diano Gordan, 24. Watson and Gordon are in custody being held on parole violations. Taylor, who was previously taken into custody and released, was arrested again Sunday night at a relative's home, according to police.

Police confirm members of the Violent Crimes Unit and Gang Units, along with U.S. Marshals, arrested Taylor on a preliminary charge of murder in connection with the Blackburn case.

Authorities said the men referred to themselves as "The Kill Gang."

Photo of one here, sister defends him...

“He told me that he’d been locked up and I’m like, ‘For what? What did you do?’ It startled me because he hadn’t been in any trouble so, he’s like, ‘Well, they said something about a murder or something, Geornita I don’t know what they’re talking about, like I don’t know anything,’” said Watson.

One doesn’t have to search online very long to confirm your suspicions

Yes, the obligatory sentence can be found in this story:

“His sister says he was in the process of turning his life around.”

“One doesn’t have to search online very long to confirm your suspicions...”

I’ll have you know, I used the MS Explorer Search function and found...”Black” was used 22 times in that article and surrounding links on that page.

Jalen Watson, 21, (aka Dindu Nuffin)

http://fox59.com/2015/11/20/sister-of-potential-suspect-in-amanda-blackburns-murder-defends-her-brother/

"He told me that he'd been locked up and I'm like, 'For what? What did you do?' It startled me because he hadn't been in any trouble so, he's like, 'Well, they said something about a murder or something, Geornita I don't know what they're talking about, like I don't know anything,'" said Watson.

Watson has a lengthy criminal history that includes burglary, theft, possession of a controlled substance and gang activity.

His sister says he was in the process of turning his life around.

Blackburn, a mother and wife of a local pastor was shot in the head, sexually assaulted and died two days after the incident.

She was also 12 weeks pregnant with her second child.

DNA evidence was collected in the Blackburn case. At least three suspects were swabbed for DNA that could possibly link them to the crime.

Yeah, that’s prima facie evidence that they’re black!

Detectives believe the men entered the Blackburn home, which was unlocked, and confronted Amanda, who was at home with her 1-year-old son. Sources say two of the suspects left with Blackburn’s ATM card to retrieve money, while Taylor allegedly raped and shot Amanda.

Her husband, Pastor Davey Blackburn, discovered his wife’s body after returning home from the gym that morning.

It would appear to be a crime of opportunity. Hope the husband wasn't the one who left the door unlocked. That would be a harsh burden to carry.
