The suspects were identified as 20-year-olds Keiyonna Jameshia Jones, of Lauderhill, and Markesha Desronvil.

According to arrest reports frome the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, Jones is accused of working alongside Desronvil and Kevaria Jones, 21, who remains at large, in multiple thefts at retail stores in the county.

Deputies said that on Dec. 21, 2025, Jones, Desronvil, and Kevaria Jones entered the Alo store at 7535 SW 88th St. in the Dadeland Mall, grabbed merchandise and concealed the items before leaving without paying.

They said stolen items were valued at $5,266, and the incident was captured on surveillance video.

Investigators said the same trio returned to the Alo store on Jan. 20, where Jones and Desronvil again selected merchandise and exited the store without paying.

The report stated that merchandise stolen during that incident was valued at $2,100. Surveillance video and photo lineups were used to identify the suspects.

Jones and Desronvil are also accused of stealing merchandise from the Dick’s Sporting Goods at 7239 N. Kendall Drive.

Deputies said that on Feb. 23, 2025, the two women stole $2,635 worth of clothing after running past all points of sale. A second theft at the same store occurred on Nov. 23, 2025, with merchandise valued at $4,760, authorities said.

They said Jones was identified by a Dick’s Sporting Goods loss prevention employee in the November incident.

Both women were taken into custody on Wednesday, and transported to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, according to investigators. Jones waived her Miranda rights and denied involvement in the thefts.

Jones and Desronvil appeared in court Thursday morning, where a judge set Jones’ bond at $20,000 and Desronvil’s bond at $15,000. Jones was ordered to stay away from Alo, while Desronvil was ordered to stay away from both Alo and Dick’s Sporting Goods.

Local 10 News is working to determine whether the arrests are connected to an August 2025 theft at the same Alo store in Dadeland Mall, where deputies said two women were caught on video fleeing with an estimated $16,000 worth of merchandise.

Darian Mensah has enrolled at Miami, becoming the latest standout transfer quarterback to join the Hurricanes, who are coming off a runner-up finish in their first trip to the College Football Playoff.

Mensah transferred to Miami from ACC rival Duke on Tuesday night. Duke agreed earlier Tuesday to end a legal battle with its now-former quarterback over whether he should be allowed to sign elsewhere.

Duke and Mensah announced they came to that agreement a few hours before Mensah and his top target with the Blue Devils this past season — wide receiver Cooper Barkate — toured the Miami campus in Coral Gables, Florida.

About 12 hours later, Mensah’s deal with Miami was official.

Mensah is joining his third team in as many years. He threw for 2,723 yards and 22 touchdowns for Tulane in 2024, then had 3,973 passing yards and 34 touchdowns — both best in the ACC — for Duke while leading the Blue Devils to a surprise conference title this past season.

And the Hurricanes are hoping he can keep their run of portal-quarterback success going.

Miami nailed the transfer route the last two seasons, first with Cam Ward — who played his way into becoming the No. 1 pick in last year’s NFL draft — leading the Hurricanes to a 10-win season in 2024, then this past season with Carson Beck guiding the team to its first national championship game in nearly a quarter-century.

The Hurricanes return a slew of offensive firepower from the national runner-up team, including star wide receiver Malachi Toney — the nation’s top freshman this past season — along with running backs Mark Fletcher Jr., Marty Brown and Girard Pringle, and tight end Elija Lofton.

Barkate would add even more to that already-loaded mix. He has 185 catches for 2,848 yards and 21 touchdowns in his college career, which includes three years at Harvard — he has an economics degree from there — and then this past season at Duke.

Duke plays at Miami this coming season, visiting on Nov. 14. The Blue Devils are coached by Manny Diaz, who coached Miami from 2019 through 2021. He was replaced in Coral Gables by Miami alum Mario Cristobal, who led the team to a school-record 13 wins this past season and its first instance of back-to-back 10-win seasons since a four-year run of those from 2000 through 2003.

Miami opens the 2026 season at Stanford on Sept. 4.
