“Marlin. Son, I love you. You know I love you. Can you please just turn yourself in,” pleaded Denson.
His mother said if her son was scared to turn himself in he could call her. “I can call the detective I’ve been working with since day 1. He will bring me to you, Marlin, if you are afraid to come in on your own,” Denson said. source
She said she hasn’t eaten and has barely slept since the ordeal began.
Police said they believe the shooting stemmed from a domestic dispute. They are still working to determine a motive.
The incident occurred on the 800 block of 3rd Street. Joseph lived in the home. He moved in about 10 months ago after serving time for battery on a child, officials said.
Joseph was last seen at 5:37 a.m. Friday withdrawing money from an ATM near Military Trail and Community Drive. Police describe him as 5′ 10″ and 180 pounds. He also has multiple tattoos on his face, including a cross between the eyes.
Joseph took Crowell’s vehicle after the murders, according to police. Her car is described as a gray 2012 Toyota Camry with a Florida Bethune-Cookman specialty license plate BA0MJ.
Police investigators currently hold an active arrest warrant for Joseph for two counts of first-degree murder with a firearm.
There is a $5,000 reward for any information leading to his arrest.
Anyone with information about the murders or the whereabouts of Marlin Joseph is urged to call the West Palm Beach Police Department at 561-822-1900 or Palm Beach County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-458-TIPS.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends at this difficult time.
