'You're gonna die tonight;' Pahokee murder suspect captured in Orlando

PAHOKEE, Fla. (CBS12) — Investigators captured a suspect in Orlando for a murder in Pahokee.

Sheldon Terrell Miles, 24, of Pahokee, is charged with first-degree murder with a firearm and discharging a firearm in public.

The shooting happened just after midnight on Feb. 4, along Carver Place near Rardin Avenue. The first deputies on scene found a 28-year-old man dead with a gunshot wound to the head.

Investigators learned the shooting stemmed from an altercation at the Muck Tavern about a mile away. Surveillance video from the area, according to the sheriff's office, picked up the commotion after the shooting, and a man wearing dark-colored clothing running from the scene.

According to the arrest report, a witness told deputies that Miles told the victim, "you're gonna die tonight." A second witness said he saw the shooter approach the victim from behind before the shooting. The witness said he saw a muzzle flash and the same man run past him. The witness said he could identify the shooter's face because he wasn't wearing a mask.

A third witness told investigators "TJ" drove a gray BMW. The witness also said the shooter used "TJ" as an alias and gave investigators the man's Instagram account. According to investigators, that information led to a search of phone records, social media accounts, and a gray BMW. The BMW turned out to be registered to the murder suspect's mother. Investigators used License Plate Reader technology to track its movement on the day of the killing around Loxahatchee and Royal Palm Beach. The day after the murder, investigators detected the car in the Orlando area.

A fourth witness told investigators he met the victim at the Muck Tavern on the night of the shooting. The victim told the witness that "TJ" was "laying on" him, which meant the suspect was watching him. The witness said Miles was at the Muck Tavern in an orange sweater, but later changed his clothing to all-black, with dark skinny jeans, a dark hat under a hoodie, and a black mask which was rolled up. The witness said they saw "TJ" shoot the victim and run past the Blue Store after the shooting.

On Feb. 20, investigators met with the suspect's mother in Orlando. She told investigators that she lends her car to her son and his girlfriend, and that he often goes by "TJ." She said her son had her car on the day of the shooting, and that she met her son and his girlfriend in Riviera Beach to retake possession of the car.

Police seized and searched the car. According to the sheriff's office, authorities found a live round of ammunition in the front driver-side door with markings that matched the spent shell casing at the crime scene.
