For more than half a decade, the case file in the shooting death of David Patrick Kyles gathered dust. Then Mobile police announced in December they had cracked the 2014 homicide and arrested Jervoris Durmaine Scarbrough. But it was not a new witness or forensic evidence that broke the case open, according to testimony Thursday in Mobile County District Court.
) - For more than half a decade, the case file in the shooting death of David Patrick Kyles gathered dust.they had cracked the 2014 homicide and arrested Jervoris Durmaine Scarbrough.
Mobile County District Attorney Keith Blackwood told FOX10 News that police originally asked for a warrant but that the District Attorney’s Office did not believe there was enough evidence to make a case at the time. But he said that changed when prosecutors learned the FBI determined Scarbrough’s DNA matched a swab taken from the trigger guard of a handgun found in an abandoned car not far from the body.
Blackwood said the evidence indicates Scarbrough and Kyles knew each other, although he would not speculate about a motive for the shooting. Crepeau testified that cells phones belonging to the defendant and victim both “pinged” off of the same cell phone tower not far from the victim’s home during and shortly after the homicide, indicating that both were in the general vicinity of each other.
Crepeau testified that investigators believe Scarbrough impersonated a police officer and pulled Kyles over on the day of the shooting on Oct. 10, 2014. He testified that along with the gun, investigators found LED lights and a stolen police tag that police believe Scarbrough used to trick the victim into thinking he was a police officer.
