The manhunt continues as Miami Gardens police, aided by U.S. Marshals, relentlessly search for 45-year-old Yalanski Delon Dawkins, wanted for the first-degree murder of 41-year-old Antonio Fannin in January of last year—an incident that unfolded as Fannin sat tranquilly in his vehicle, only to meet a violent demise.
An arrest warrant for Dawkins was issued on September 26, 2025, nearly nine months following the fatal shooting that took place around 5:55 p.m. at the 16000 block of Northwest 26th Avenue Local10 reported, law enforcement officers have so far been unsuccessful in locating Dawkins, leading to an increased sense of urgency and a plea to the public for assistance.
With suspicions that Dawkins, also known for past felonious conduct involving firearms, might be frequenting areas in Orlando and Atlanta, authorities caution the public regarding his potentially violent propensities; he should be considered armed and very dangerous, a detailed narrative by WSVN emphasizes.
The Miami Gardens Police Department has encouraged anyone who might have information about Dawkins' whereabouts to come forward, reminding that anonymity can be preserved through United State Marshals tip line and Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers for those who prefer discretion, and a reward of up to $5,000 has been offered for tips leading to an arrest and conviction, as further motivation, Local10 highlighted.
To relay information, individuals may get in touch with Miami Gardens Police Homicide Detective H. Baez De Jesus at 305-474-1615, or should they choose to remain nameless, they can contact the U.S. Marshals tip line at 1-800-869-4589 or Miami-Dade County Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS (8477), both avenues providing a secure path to aid law enforcement while upholding one's privacy.
