4th Alleged Attacker Charged In Miami Apartment Murder

MIAMI, FL — A 20-year-old man has been identified as the alleged fourth attacker in the murder of 49-year-old Tony Conway earlier this month. Steven "Vulcha Beam Jawn" Blanc of Homestead was charged with first-degree murder and a lesser offense on Friday after turning himself in for questioning to Miami-Dade homicide detectives. Two 16-year-old girls and a 16-year-old boy were also charged in the slaying earlier this month.

Conway collapsed and died from a gunshot wound outside his apartment at NW 103 Street on Jan. 3. The incident occurred shortly after 3 p.m. First responders discovered Conway bleeding in the fetal position and he was pronounced dead in the common area where he was trying to get help.

Miami-Dade police have said that the teenage girls were invited to Conway's apartment and plotted to rob him when they arrived before he got home.

The teenagers, whose names are being withheld by Patch because of their ages, were each charged on with first-degree murder and armed robbery with a firearm. Police said Blanc was with the others when they entered the apartment.

"When the victim returned to the residence, the prearranged plan was carried out and he was subsequently shot during the course of the robbery," according to court documents.

The teens were detained by Miami-Dade detectives as they were driving in a black Audi Q7. Police also said they recovered two guns.

According to court documents, the four used a hidden key from outside Conway's apartment to gain entry.
