Brothers Torn Apart By Bullets
On April 6, 2002, Dimitri and Claudy Joseph set out to have a normal night on the town. So they called a few friends and decided to meet at a nightclub in Brooklyn, New York.
Cops say the guys met up with a few girls at Club Model -- a popular Haitian hot spot. But the night took a terrible twist when they encountered Jean Seraphin. Police say Seraphin had his eye on one of the girls and asked her to dance, but when she declined the offer, the gang member just wouldn't take "no" for an answer.
According to reports, as Seraphin persisted, tempers started to rise. And that made Dimitri Joseph rise to his feet in defense of the young woman. But police say shortly after he got up, Seraphin shot him down with numerous blasts to the head and torso.
The shooting allegedly sent horror throughout the club and sent Seraphin running. Medics rushed to the scene, but Dimitri Jospeh died from his injuries anyway.
Now, police say it's time to make this Seraphin's last dance with the law. They say Seraphin is armed and dangerous and that's just one more reason why they want to put this fugitive behind bars. They can't bring Claudy Joseph's brother back, but at least they can bring him justice.
Thoughts? The above was from the AMW archives. Seraphin was aired on the July 23rd, 2005 episode of America's Most Wanted. Even though it seems police believe Seraphin killed Claudy Joseph in the case description, the 2007 archive wanted by-line says he was only wanted for questioning. In any case, as far as I can tell, Seraphin's still nowhere to be found as of this posting date (10/26/2015). And if that's the case, I do have to wonder if he fled the country and may be in Haiti as listed in his possible locations.
