Man under prison for threatening to leak his ex-wife's nude photos, now charged in fatal shooting, cops say

MIAMI – A man out on bail for threatening to leak his ex-girlfriend's nude photos unless she bought him new clothes now faces murder and attempted murder charges, police said.

Keon Torrell Ponton, 20, of Miramar, joins at least three other people accused of participating in a July 1 gang shooting in the area of ​​Northwest Second Avenue and 52nd Street in Miami's Little Haiti neighborhood. The shooting occurred about a week before Ponton's arrest on racketeering and online sexual harassment charges.

The shooting left 24-year-old Andre Mitchell dead and two others injured.

Police said Ponton and the other suspects were part of the Slice Gang, a rival to Mitchell's Boss Life gang.

An arrest warrant states that using cell phone GPS data, Ponton was seated in one of the vehicles involved at the scene.

It said he denied involvement in the shooting.

Ponton was booked into Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on Tuesday following an arrest in Broward County.

Since Wednesday he remained with TGK without a commitment.
