At the age of 36, Carl Henry Starke of St. Augustine, Florida, was known in his local community as the kindest and sweetest individual with an ever-present infectious smile. The autistic male actually had the innate ability to make friends wherever he went, meaning that his daily trips to Game Stop, Home Depot, or Walmart after work were almost always a positive experience. However, that suddenly changed on August 18, 2015, when the independent Jacksonville-born loader for Republic Waste Management was found dead following his usual trip to a nearby Walmart.
The following day, on August 19, 2015, the vehicle was spotted on Masters Drive, leading to a chase and manhunt that resulted in the arrests of Kevin
Trevon Williams, 17, and Christopher
Koran O’Neal, 16. A third individual was in the car with them, yet the authorities only took him to the hospital for the injuries he sustained from their crash into a ditch during the chase, not into proper custody. The other two were apprehended a short while later without incident, albeit at least one of them did run into the woods on foot in an unsuccessful attempt to escape for good.
It then came to light that the teens had been casing the Walmart parking lot with friends the night prior, looking for a car to steal, when they noticed Carl and deemed him an easy target owing to his disability. Hence, they stalked him all the way to his destination, after which only Kevin and Christopher got out of their vehicle for the carjacking, just for things to go horrifically awry. The details of what occurred are unclear, but the officials believe that the duo killed the autistic male in cold blood — with Kevin being the triggerman — before leaving his car behind and fleeing.
