2 Charged with Murder over Botched 2013 Robbery

Two men were arrested Friday on murder charges stemming from a robbery just after Christmas in 2013.

Miami Police said Daniel Williams, 19, and Joe Dawson 20, were arrested for allegedly murdering Malik Carroll. Police said the men were charged with first degree murder, premeditated murder, and armed robbery with a firearm.

Police said the incident started when two men approached a disabled Vietnam War veteran on the 900 block of NW 47th Terrace. The duo tried to steal a gold chain, but the veteran tried to fight back. During the scuffle, Carroll was shot and he died a few days later.

The veteran was not injured and the second suspect didn’t get away with any property. Police haven’t said who shot Carroll.
