GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Kader’eon B. Manning, aged 16, is facing adult charges in connection with two separate firearm-related incidents.
Manning’s initial arrest occurred on January 19, when he was apprehended as a juvenile for allegedly breaking into a vehicle on the 200 block of SE 19th Place and taking a firearm from it. Authorities, upon receiving permission to search his home, reportedly uncovered the stolen weapon along with two other firearms and some ammunition. At the time of the incident, Manning was under juvenile probation, and his ankle monitor data allegedly placed him at the scene of the crime.
In a related development, officers from the Gainesville Police Department have charged Manning with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and possession of a firearm by an adjudicated delinquent. These charges stem from a January 6 event where Manning and other juveniles purportedly confronted a victim near NE 12th Avenue and NE 23rd Street. During this encounter, several weapons were allegedly brandished, with threats made towards the victim. Manning was reportedly identified by the victim, and his ankle monitor data again placed him at the location during the incident.
Court records reveal Manning’s history of violent behavior, including a juvenile conviction for a crime that would be classified as a felony if committed by an adult. Judge Susan Miller-Jones set his bail at $575,000.
Articles about arrests are based on reports from law enforcement agencies. The charges listed are taken from the arrest report and/or court records and are only accusations. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
