Accident – Death – Obituary News :
In a chilling case that has shocked the community of Jacksonville, Florida, a man has been sentenced to death for the murder of his roommate’s girlfriend. Markas Fishburne pleaded guilty to first-degree murder for killing 25-year-old Aisha Levy and placing her body in a plastic storage bin back in 2019.
The sentencing came after a jury voted 10-to-2 in February, with a judge ultimately deciding to impose the death penalty on Fishburne for his heinous crime.
According to reports from the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, the gruesome discovery was made at the Green Tree Place Apartments on Princeton Square Boulevard. Fishburne’s roommate returned home from work to find the apartment drenched in blood, leading to the tragic revelation of Levy’s lifeless body.
Levy, a promising young woman with a bright future ahead of her, was remembered fondly by her father, Marlow Levy, and stepmother, Dr. Anthonia Levy. The family’s grief was palpable as they struggled to come to terms with the senseless loss of their beloved Aisha.
In a disturbing detail revealed in Fishburne’s arrest report, it was disclosed that Levy’s body had been wrapped up and concealed inside a plastic storage bin found in a closet within the apartment. Fishburne was apprehended at the Jacksonville Greyhound Bus terminal just as he was about to board a bus bound for Indiana, where he intended to flee the authorities.
Fishburne claimed that he and Levy had engaged in an “altercation” prior to her tragic demise, shedding light on the events leading up to the brutal murder that shocked the Southside community.
The case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of justice and accountability in the face of such senseless violence. As the community mourns the loss of Aisha Levy, they can take solace in knowing that her killer has been brought to justice and will face the consequences of his actions.
