A 20-year-old individual from Homestead was apprehended on Friday following accusations of robbing a 14-year-old boy of jewelry valued at over $3,200 in Key Largo last year.
According to Monroe County Sheriff’s spokesperson Adam Linhardt, Shayvon Cortavius Givens faces charges of battery, grand theft, and robbery. Linhardt disclosed that Givens purportedly assaulted the victim by repeatedly punching him in the face before absconding with his jewelry during a robbery in June 2023.
Authorities confirmed the issuance of a warrant for Givens’ arrest, leading to his detention on Thursday. Information regarding his arraignment date and bond status remains undisclosed at present.
Local 10 News has submitted a request for Givens’ arrest report from the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office.
