Jail records show Xavier Tyson, 15, was taken into custody Friday afternoon. <\/p>\n

Authorities say he was 14 at the time of the alleged attack that occurred on June 18, 2025, at the Green Haven Project community garden near Frederick Douglass Elementary School.<\/p>\n

Tyson joins co-defendant Nelson Nunez in custody at the Metrowest Detention Center. Nunez, now 14, was 13 at the time of the incident. Records show both boys are being held without bond.<\/p>\n

A third defendant, Jusiah Jones, was placed on house arrest following a court hearing in March.<\/a><\/p>\n

According to Miami police, the three boys assaulted the victim at the garden at 1160 NW Second Ave., an attack investigators said lasted about 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors allege Nunez acted as the ringleader, while Jones is accused of forcing rocks into the victim\u2019s mouth to keep her quiet and Tyson is accused of helping restrain her.<\/p>\n

Court records show Tyson had previously been released pending proceedings before his latest booking.<\/p>\n
