In an unfortunate turn of events in Starkville, an individual was arrested for robbery once more while under earned release supervision. The incident, unfolding on Monday, 15th July, concerned a 27-year-old local resident named Kenji Taylor.
The robbery reportedly took place near an ATM at Renasant Bank, 500 Lamkin Street, at approximately 2:30 a.m on Wednesday, July 10th. The victim and the suspect, identified as Kenji Taylor, were not strangers to each other – a pre-existing acquaintance was acknowledged between the two parties.
The victim bore the brunt of the violent episode with injuries ranging from a broken rib to minor facial and head wounds. Starkville’s local police department became privy to the incident late on the Friday afternoon of July 12th.
Post the arrest, Taylor has been presently detained at the Oktibbeha County Jail. The shocking aspect of this case arises from the fact that during the time of the robbery, Taylor was already serving an earned release supervision with the Mississippi Department of Corrections for a previous robbery in 2016.
Police are now actively seeking any information that might come from potential witnesses or individuals who might have key inputs related to the incident. Those with any relevant information are encouraged to contact the Starkville Police Department (SPD) directly.
Alternatively, information can also be shared with the Golden Triangle Crime Stoppers. It should be mentioned that Crime Stoppers may offer a cash reward for information that leads to the resolution of the case.
Further exacerbating the unsettling case, the law enforcement history of the suspect is marked with previous instances of robbery. Back in 2016, Taylor was found guilty and consequently convicted on similar charges. At the time of the latest robbery, he was under the earned release supervision of Mississippi’s Department of Corrections (MDOC).
For the uninitiated, an earned release supervision usually signifies the period following the partial fulfillment of a prisoner’s sentence, during which the individual is subject to constant monitoring and obligation to adhere to specific conditions.
Taylor’s case points towards a broader problem of repeat offenders and raises valid questions about the efficiency of earned release programs and whether they truly lead to the desired rehabilitation. The issue becomes even more concerning considering Taylor’s serious offenses, including violent robbery crimes.
While the investigation into the latest incident is currently in progress, Taylor’s past and the alarming frequency of his crimes showcase the significance of exploring more robust corrective measures or perhaps a re-evaluation of the existing release supervision guidelines.
