PORT ST. LUCIE – A third suspect involved in the shooting of two men, one of whom has died, was taken into custody on May 5, Port St. Lucie Police announced.

Norrien Morris Casminski, 18, of Fort Pierce, was taken into custody for the shooting of Antoine Meyers and Jermonti Johnson, both 19, in a parking lot in the 1600 block of Northwest St. Lucie Boulevard, Port St. Lucie on May 2.

Meyers, who was shot in the head, died May 4 of his injuries. Johnson was shot in the abdomen but is expected to recover, Chief Leo Niemczyk said.

Casminski was taken into custody by U.S. Marshals Service deputies after Casminski called 911 from a friend’s home in Fort Pierce to turn himself in, Niemcyzk said at a press conference at Port St. Lucie Police on May 5.

Officers responded to reports of a shooting in a parking lot in the 1600 block of Northwest St. Lucie West Boulevard, Port St. Lucie at about 6:36 p.m., May 2.

Upon arrival, they found Meyers and Johnson suffering from gunshot wounds inside a white Tesla.

Arrested on May 3 were Sharlett Nylah Key, 18, of Port St. Lucie, who is believed to have driven a gold Chevrolet Cruze from the scene, and Martravious Aaron Blue Jr., 19, of Fort Pierce, a passenger in the Cruze.

Key remains in the St. Lucie County Jail as of May 5 on a $75,000 bond for robbery with a firearm, tampering with evidence and accessory after the fact in a first-degree felony.

Blue is in the jail as of May 5 on a $1.3 million bond on two counts of premeditated murder and one count each of robbery with a firearm and grand theft.

The search for Casminski, who police say was the shooter, continued until he was taken into custody on May 5. The arrest was made in less than 72 hours after an operation that involved patrol officers, Criminal Investigation Division detectives and specialized units.

Other agencies such as as Fort Pierce Police Department, St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office, Indian River County Sheriff’s Office, Martin County Sheriff’s Office, Homeland Security, and the U.S. Marshals Service were involved in the manhunt, Niemcyzk said at the press conference.

The incident started as a business transaction at a Walmart in Fort Pierce, after Myers and Johnson called the others on a cell phone and wanted them to buy and activate phones for them, Niemczyk said.

The victims, here from Georgia visiting family, apparently were in the business of having others buy cell phones in their names and then selling the phones on the street for a profit, Niemczyk said.

The two victims, from Georgia, were “out there trying to obtain this cell phone equipment for less than ethical reasons. These are not upstanding citizens and it’s unfortunate that their business brought them to Port St. Lucie,” Niemczyk said.

Casminksi, Blue and the two victims drove from Fort Pierce to activate the phones, purchased at the Wal-Mart in Fort Pierce, at a Verizon store in Port St. Lucie, Niemczyk said. They were followed by Key, driving the Gold Cruze.

Casminski and Blue apparently plotted all along to rob the victims of the phones and of money, Niemczyk said. “The victims were flashing large sums of cash,” Niemczyk said.

After allegedly shooting Meyers and Johnson in the Tesla, Casminski and Blue left the scene with Key in the Cruze, Niemczyk said.

Working throughout the night, officers were able to track the Cruze to the registered owner’s home, obtained search warrants and took Key and Blue in custody, Niemczyk said.

Because Meyers died of his wounds, it is expected that Casminski will be charged with felony murder.

“The final charges will be determined by the State Attorney’s Office,” Niemczyk said.

Even though Casminski fired the shots and Blue didn’t, Blue could be facing felony murder since they acted together, Niemczyk said.
