US Marshals on July 11 apprehended Quanterria Bennett, 18, on charges of murder and armed robbery related to the death of Micah Thomas.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — According to a new arrest report, the 10th and final suspect in a Jacksonville 14-year-old boy’s murder has been arrested.

On Friday, July 11, US Marshals took Quanterria Bennett, 18, into custody on a warrant with charges of second-degree murder and armed robbery, as documented in her arrest report. She is accused of involvement in the murder of Micah Thomas, who was 14 when he was killed on New Year’s Day 2024.

The report indicates that on January 1, 2024, at 6:11 p.m., patrol officers were initially dispatched to a residence on Castle Boulevard in Northwest Jacksonville, in relation to a reported home invasion robbery.

But while responding, officers received an update that a shooting had occurred “two houses southeast” of the robbery incident, the report states.

Officers then responded to the shooting, according to the report, and when they arrived, Micah was found lying near the doorway of his home, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was then taken to a local hospital, where he later died.

The following nine people have been charged in connection to Micah’s murder, along with Bennett:

  • Emanuel Cuff, 24
  • William Middleton, 24
  • J’Nethen Jackson, 21
  • Rian Brown, 17
  • Antonio Thornton, 20
  • Roderick Brunson, 19
  • Isaiah Conner, 24
  • Lamaya Gillis, 21
  • Nailah Douglas, 30

JSO said during its investigation, detectives reviewed Ring doorbell video obtained from a neighbor, showing two vehicles — black and red sedans — “moving suspiciously” down Castle Boulevard.

Through interviews, JSO said they learned the 10 suspects were all together at Gillis’ home on New Year’s Day 2024 when they “devised a plan to rob the victim of his guns, drugs and money.”

According to the report, six of the suspects who are unnamed, mistakenly drove from Gillis’ home in two cars to a home that was two houses down from where Micah lived. JSO says one of the suspects who was a “lookout” realized they were not at Micah’s home when they “heard a female screaming from inside the house.”

“They hit the wrong house!” the report states one of the suspects said.

Afterward, the report says the six suspects left the area and went back to Gillis’ home.

“Four of the suspects decided to go back a second time to hit the correct house,” the report states.

JSO says three of the four suspects entered Micah’s home and allege that Cuff shot Micah, stole guns and then left on foot. Meanwhile, the other two suspects who entered Micah’s home ran back to their car and drove back to Gillis’ home, according to the report.

“Bennett was confirmed as the driver of the red/burgundy sedan that drove the suspects to the home where the home invasion robbery was committed, and soon thereafter, where the murder was committed,” the report states.

Bennett will have her arraignment at the Duval County courthouse on Aug. 4, court records show.
