In a recent incident in Huntsville, authorities apprehended three individuals linked to a robbery that took place on Bonnell Drive. The victim recounted a harrowing experience in which he was confronted by a group of people he had just met, one of whom brandished a firearm and threatened him. In a desperate attempt to escape, the victim fled the scene, only to find that the suspects pursued him.
Following a thorough investigation, law enforcement officials arrested 26-year-old Xavier Dequinn Smith from Madison, along with 23-year-old Keishone Varcel Matthews and 21-year-old Kendrick Rashawn Gowdy, both residents of Huntsville. During the course of the investigation, police were able to recover the stolen firearm, as well as several others. All three suspects now face charges related to the robbery.
