Mom Accused Of Killing Daughter Ruled Incompetent
Multiple Times
A Tampa woman accused of drowning her daughter has been ruled incompetent to stand trial. She appeared in court last week.
Based on reports from doctors who examined Ms. Shakayla Denson, a Hills- borough County judge ruled her incompetent to stand trial. She will be sent to a hos- pital to undergo treatment. Once she has been ruled com- petent, Ms. Denson will stand trial for first-degree murder.
On August 2, 2018, Ms. Denson waded into the Hillsborough River with her 4-year-old daughter, Je’hyrah Daniels. She is accused of throwing her only child into the river. The child died before she could be res- cued.

The children’s mother was also taken into custody. She was charged with two counts of child neglect with great bodily harm.
The children’s mother, Ms. Andrea Fulton, 25, and 29-year-old boyfriend, Rashawn Davis, were both taken into custody on Decem- ber 13th.

Woman Pleads Guilty To Money Laundering In IRS Scams
A 54-year-old Tampa woman pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit money laundering. She faces a max- imum of 20 years in federal prison.
According to the plea agreement, from July to No- vember 2015, Ms. Brenda Dozier laundered money extorted from citizens using a scam. The conspirators would call citizens and im- personate IRS officers. The victims were throughout the United States and overseas.
The conspirators misled their victims into believing they owed back income taxes. As part of the conspir- acy, Ms. Dozier opened bank accounts to receive the fraud proceeds. The money was usually received via in- terstate wire transfers.
Once Ms. Dozier with- drew the money, she gave it to her co-conspirators. Ms. Dozier was paid for opening the accounts and conducting
the transfers, officials said. In October, Nishitku- mar Patel, Hemalkumar Shah, and Sharvil Patel were all charged in connec- tion with the case. They are facing conspiracy to commit wire fraud and extortion
charges. They are also facing individual counts of alleged wire fraud, extortion, money laundering, and aggravated identity theft for their roles in the scheme.
Their trials are set to begin in April 2019.
