How many convicted killers and criminals who are at risk of repeating their crimes are walking around New Haven like ticking time bombs?

And how come we don't have a photo NHI?

Any chance on posting a mugshot? That might help catch this guy before he kills again.

I really have to put more effort into planning my party guest lists.

But seriously -- seven years for murdering a family member? I know family contact while in prison is an important deterrent to recidivism, but maybe this is the exception to the rule. I'm glad the NHPD was able to cut through the "plate of food" BS.

Thank you lord that they got him before my family could......I feared for this man's life and he took my brother's life!!!NHI you didn't have to post my comment from the other day but see that you are sure using the stuff i put in my comment it's okay i'm willing to help the writer get brownie points!!!My brother was a good man whom never bothered anyone and now hs life has been taken and his children-my nieces and my nephew are now fatherless!!!South Carolina should've locked him up and threw the key away for killing his own brother 7years is not enough for taking a life accident or not and maybe if he was still serving time for that murder then maybe he wouldn't have committed a second....R.I.P. RODERICK YOU ARE GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN LOVE LIL SIS,NENEE

i have known brenda a long time when she was with nakia brother (the brother that passed away)and she has always been a very violent person i can remember her stabbing him a couple of times because things didnt go her way and i can remember talking to nakia from tie to time and he said she was telling her boyfriend that they was sleeping together and of course thats when issues between the two started he says that they were together like that in anyway i feel like it was a frame she plotted against nakia i remember talking to a family member living in new haven and she told me that nakia was just in a fight with brendas boyfriend and that was at 10pm and he was at his girlfriend house at the time and if the murder took place at 11:10 then what really happened after nakia left that house where did the time go what happened in that 1hr and 10mins i feel justice need to be surved but it could not have been over when nakia left that house and he was somewhere else by 10pm brenda needs to be checked. to the deceased family im veruy sorry for ur lost but brenda has alot more to do with not only the arguement but the murder and that just my honest opinion

to everybody that has so much to say about this if you aint gonna tell it to the police then don't say it at all..And for everyone's information Nakia admitted it to the police that he is responsible for my brothers death so it aint no he may have done it or not,,He said he did and thats that..We all know that brenda got more to do with it than we all know but the thing is Now just proving it..ANd until we can do that Nakia is being held 100 percent responsible..It really doesnt matter what anyone says that will not bring my brother back ...He lost his life over a no good ass women and a man who has no heart..And if Everybody was there and know what happen why they not talking to the police..Im up here everyday on this sight and i will respond to every message put up here..!
