An 18-year-old woman was arrested Tuesday on charges of murder and armed robbery after detectives say she killed a security guard at a Miami Gardens park in 2018.
It was not immediately clear what led police to the teen, identified as Daija Kemp. Kemp had not yet been booked into jail as of Tuesday night, according to jail records.
On Nov. 2, a woman walking at Scott Park, 17710 NW 15th Ct., discovered a man’s body near the playground after 6 a.m.
Police later identified the man as Kevin Willis, 50. Willis was the chief executive officer of Traveling Angels Security Academy, Miami Herald news partner CBS4 reported at the time.
At the time of the shooting, police said Willis’ silver 2007 Chrysler 300 was missing. It was not clear Tuesday if the car had been recovered.
