A convicted killer from Dade County with an unmistakably bulky frame was arrested Monday when witnesses linked him to another slaying in Jacksonville.
Arthur James Martin, 40, was charged in the shooting death of 19-year-old Jacksonville resident Javon Abdullah Daniels. Lt. Larry Schmitt of the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said Daniels was letting a passenger out his car about 6 p.m Wednesday in the the 1100 block of West 22nd Street when a gunman opened fire.
Daniels was shot multiple times and pronounced dead at the scene. Schmitt said witnesses picked Martin, who's about 5-foot-3 weighing roughly 300 pounds and goes by the nickname "Shorty Fat," out of a photo spread.
"He has a rather large stature, so it was pretty easy for them to identify him," Schmitt said.
Jacksonville has been on the losing end of news lately. Frankly, I'm not shocked. I'm flipping awesomely glad I don't live there anymore, other than the state income tax. History has proven that if you're a serial killer, a pedophile, a murderer, Florida is your best bet. Well, Jacksonville hasn't been an exception over the last few weeks: A pedophile abduction/murder, a double murder/suicide, and a murderer described as "Girth Brooks." To say this man was identitfiable by his large stature is a prime example of how ridiculously politically correct this world has become. He's fatter than sh!t. Seriously, if you're considering a family vacation to Florida, change your plans. You'd be better off getting a guided tour around the island of Aruba by Joran van der Sloot.
