The four men arrested after an armed pawn shop robbery in Auburndale and slaying of two Haines City women were denied bail by a judge Saturday morning.
Michael Gordon, Devonere McCune, Jovan Lamb and Terrell Williams will remain in the Polk County Jail and are due back in the court Feb. 17.
They made their first appearance in a Bartow courtroom.
Gordon, 34, of Lakeland, faces two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Patricia Moran, 72, and her daughter, Deborah Royal, 51, at their home.
Investigators said Gordon broke into the house and “viciously” killed the women before stealing their car in an attempt to flee law enforcement.
Gordon also was charged with armed robbery and attempted murder on a law enforcement officer, along with 22-year-old Devonere McCune, 25-year-old Jovan Lamb and 29-year-old Terrell Williams, all of Haines City.
All were arrested at different locations during an overnight manhunt after an armed robbery at Cash America Pawn, 105 Havendale Blvd., on Thursday afternoon. Surveillance images from the robbery show intruders in white hoodies with assault rifles pointed at employees.
We don’t have freedom, or taxes, or price of living, or firearms laws, or good people, or open areas, etc. I don’t know what freedom feels like.
Life without parole, hell.
Turn the fathers, brothers, and male cousins of those women loose on these psychopaths for a few hours, in a locked room.
Male relatives in general, make that.
Florida is a felony Murder rule State. If a death takes place in the commission of a felony, even if it’s your partner, you can be charged with Felony Murder, a capital crime, and receive the death penalty. welcome to the big time boys!!!
