Kenyon Nesbitt, an ex-convict and registered sex offender who served three prison terms, has now been arrested on suspicion of fatally shooting a man in the head during a botched drug deal in Queens (NYC). a year ago.
NYPD detectives arrested Kenyon Nesbitt (44) on Wednesday after he was extradited to New York from Pennsylvaniawhere he was in prison for another unrelated crime, highlighted Daily News.
Nesbitt now faces charges for the armed homicide of Kenneth Murphy, 35-year-old, who was sitting in a Nissan Altima parked near the intersection of Sutphin Blvd. near Tuskegee Airmen Way in the Jamaica neighborhood on December 27, 2022when he was shot in the head.
Cops believe Nesbitt and Murphy were in the middle of a drug transaction when the shooting occurred.
The suspected gunman was later identified as Nesbitt, who at the time was residing in Brooklyn, but had fled to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where he would be arrested for an unrelated crime a few days later and sentenced to prison. Information about that case was not immediately available.
When detectives located Nesbitt at the Pennsylvania State Correctional Institution in Huntingdon they began the extradition process to bring him back to New York. All charges are mere accusations and those charged are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.
Nesbitt’s background includes a rape and robbery at gunpoint in Brooklyn in 2002 that earned him a seven-year prison sentence. That crime led to him being added to New York State’s sex offender registry after he was released from prison. He had previously served four years in prison at a young age for attempted robbery in Brooklyn in 1996, according to court records.
