Alex Venegas’ has reported that Andrew James Thomas was trying to hide his black handgun just before the cops raided at their place. When the raid took place, Alex was present there. He claimed that Thomas was afraid and tried to convince him to hide his gun and asked him for help but he refused.

The island boys told the media that they were unaware of Thomas’ crime. Thomas is their childhood friend and they grew up together, said by the Island boys. They knew him as a quiet child.
Alex Venegas said, “he would come and hang out and do his thing and go back to whatever he got going on, but we had no clue about any of these allegations towards him. We just knew him as a good person, someone who grew up with the Island boys. If we knew something like this was going on, we would have never allowed him on the property.”
Little Girl Murdered by Thomas
As per sources, Thomas is charged with first-degree murder, weapon possession, and probation violations from a previous robbery case. An 8-year-old girl, Ronziyah ‘Ziyah’ Atkins, was the victim who got killed by Thomas.
On 4th February, Thomas shot Ziyah at around 7:00 PM while she was playing in the yard of her home. After she was shot, people took her to Palm Beach County hospital but she died.
