SUNRISE, Fla. – The family of a Sunrise man say there is a void that feels unfillable since their loved one was shot and killed. They made a public plea on Thursday for the person responsible to turn himself in to police.
The shooting happened on April 22 in Sunrise. At the time, police would only release limited information — that one man was shot multiple times by another man. They said the victim died from his injuries at the hospital.
The victim has been identified as 51-year-old Mark McNab. His sister, Myrna McNab, said he would have been 52-years-old in July and that he was a loving father, sibling and fiancé.
Local 10 News learned that he and the suspect lived in the same home and that he is the son of McNab’s fiancé. Police named the suspect as Jeavoy Jones, who goes by the name Dane.
“We do have an active homicide warrant for Jeavoy Jones. We are looking for him. And there had been some tension in the past,” said Detective Roberto Milien of Sunrise Police.
Police said surveillance video from the day of the shooting showed Jones at a pawn shop near the home only 15 minutes after the shooting, trying to pawn something that belonged to McNab. But he hasn’t been seen since.
And, a neighbor gave Local 10 News video showing Jones driving off in an orange Jetta after the shooting.
Today, McNab’s family made a public plea to Jones.
“Just turn yourself in. Do the right thing, because if you have the nerve to do that, you should not be hiding,” Myrna McNab said about the man who is suspected of killing her brother.
McNab’s cousin Norwyn Phillips, also spoke publicly to Jones. “There are consequences for everything and we’re hoping that you’re willing to stand up for the consequences of that act you commit.”
And cousin Marcia Allen had a warning about Jones: “He shouldn’t be out there. You never know what’s going to happen next. This person, if he did this, he’s a dangerous person and he should turn himself in.”
Chief Anthony Rosa of Sunrise Police said investigators believe that Jones is armed and dangerous. “We’re asking you to be cautious and not approach him, but instead we’re asking that you call Broward County Crimestoppers, where you can remain anonymous.”
Rosa also had a message for Jones. “Jeavoy, Dane, you know what you did to this family. Call us today at the Sunrise Police Department and we will ensure you can turn yourself in in a safe environment.”
McNab leaves behind two children.
Detectives are asking for the public’s help. There is a $3,000 reward for information that leads to Jones’ arrest. Call Broward County Crimestoppers at (954) 493-8477. Tipsters can remain anonymous.
