Man condemned for Irving car wash shooting spree in 2000 loses appeal

HOUSTON (AP) — A Dallas man condemned for a shooting spree that left five people dead during a robbery at a suburban Dallas car wash has lost a federal court appeal, moving him a step closer to execution.

Robert Wayne Harris was convicted of two of the five slayings at the Mi-T-Fine Car Wash in Irving in March 2000. He had been fired from his job there a few days earlier for exposing himself to a female customer.

Attorneys for Harris told the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans he was mentally impaired, making him ineligible for execution under Supreme Court guidelines. The appeals court said there was no evidence to support his claim.

“Harris has offered no expert opinion that he is mentally retarded and no IQ score at 70 or below from a test taken prior to age 18,” a three-judge panel of the court wrote in a ruling posted late Monday.

Harris, 40, does not yet have an execution date.

His lawyer, Lydia Brandt, said Tuesday she would take the appeal to the Supreme Court.

A Dallas County jury deliberated 11 minutes in September 2000 before finding Harris guilty of killing Rhoda Wheeler, 46, and Agustin Villasenor, 36. The same jury decided three days later Harris should die.

Harris also was charged with capital murder but not tried for the slayings of the three others shot in the same attack.

A sixth employee at the car wash survived a gunshot wound to the head and testified how Harris forced him and two co-workers to kneel at gunpoint before they were shot with a semiautomatic handgun.

Another worker testified he walked in on the scene as Harris was standing over the bodies of three victims. Harris told him there were three other bodies elsewhere. Harris then showed up at a store nearby where the frantic worker was calling 911 to report the carnage. Harris joined in the call and told the dispatcher he had gone to the car wash to talk to his manager after losing his job and discovered the bloody scene.

Harris was arrested the next day, hiding at a former girlfriend's house. The following day, he led police to the decomposing body of a woman who had been missing about four months.

During the punishment phase of his trial, prosecutors presented evidence showing Harris at age 15 was placed in a state school after attacking an aunt with a hammer. As an adult, he had three burglary convictions and spent most of his seven years in prison in administrative segregation, the Texas prison system's most restrictive custody. The car wash shootings occurred about nine months after he was released.

Prison records and testimony at his trial showed he repeatedly threatened officers, set fire to his cell and threatened and fought with other inmates. A defense psychiatrist described him as anti-social and suffering from depression compounded by a low IQ.

Mark James Robert ESSEX

Classification: Spree killer
Characteristics: Racist - Sniper
Number of victims: 9
Date of murders: January 1/7, 1973
Date of birth: 1949
Victims profile: Two cops / Two hotel workers, three cops, a newlywed couple
Method of murder: Shooting (Ruger carbine .44 Magnum)
Location: New Orleans, Louisiana, USA
Status: He was shot down by Marine sharpshooters January 7, 1973


On a Sunday morning in January, 1973, Mark stormed into a Howard Johnson's Motel with his rifle in his hand and a private race war on his mind. A black maid spotted him but he reassured her, "Don't worry. We're not killing blacks today, just whites. The revolution is here." With that, he torched the drapes of his room and started shooting at the white folk.

He spent the rest of the day on the roof of the hotel shooting people. He killed two hotel workers, three cops, a newlywed couple, and wounded twenty-six others. Eventually he was shot down by Marine sharpshooters who were called in to take him out.

Four hotel guests were killed, including a couple from Virginia married just seven months. Dr. Robert Steagall Jr., 28, was shot first. His wife, Elizabeth, 25, was shot in the head as she cradled her husband in her arms.

The hotel's general manager, W. Sherwood Collins, 46, and assistant manager, Frank Schneider, 62, also were killed.

The most devastating loss for the Police Department was Deputy Superintendent Louis Sirgo.

It was 10:15am, 7 January 1973, when Essex shot grocer Joe Perniciaro with his Ruger .44 Magnum carbine. Essex was making his way to The Downtown Howard Johnson's Hotel on 330 Loyola Ave.

Gaining entry from a fire stairwell on the 18th floor, Essex told three startled black hotel employees not to worry, as he was only there to kill white people.

In the hallway in front of room 1829 Essex found a 27-year-old vacationing Dr. Robert Steagall and his wife Betty. After a struggle with Steagall, Essex shot him in the chest. He then shot the wife of the doctor in the back of the head.

In the room, he soaked telephone books with lighter fluid and set them ablaze under the curtains. Essex dropped a red, green, and black African flag onto the floor beside the bodies of the couple as he left.

Seeing the story on TV, Lt. General Chuck Pitman of the United States Marine Corps offered the use of a CH-46 military helicopter to assist the police officers.

The helicopter was loaded with armed men and sent up. Essex and the helicopter exchanged many rounds over many hours. Essex managed to hole himself up in a concrete cubicle that would protect him. Right as he hit the helicopter's transmission, Essex was barraged with fatal gunfire. An autopsy later revealed more than 200 gunshot wounds.

Before the attack, the television station WWL received a handwritten note from Essex. It read:

'Africa greets you. On Dec. 31, 1972, aprx. 11 p.m., the downtown New Orleans Police Department will be attacked. Reason — many, but the death of two innocent brothers will be avenged. And many others.

P.S. Tell pig Giarrusso the felony action squad ain't ****.

Mata'

Aftermath

After the smoke had cleared, a tally revealed that Essex had shot 19 people, including 10 police officers.

John Allen Muhammad, the Washington, DC sniper, grew up in nearby Baton Rouge, Louisiana and was 12 years old at the time Essex's shooting spree was shown live on television. Essex's crimes may have inspired Muhammad's.

LOS ANGELES -- A judge formally sentenced convicted serial killer, Michael Hughes, to death in the murders of a teenager and 2 women in the 1980s and 1990s.

The former security guard was convicted last year of three counts of first-degree murder, and special circumstances in the deaths of 15-year-old Yvonne Coleman, 36-year-old Verna Williams and 32-year-old Deborah Jackson, also known as Harriet McKinley.

Police say Hughes' victims were all sexually assaulted and strangled.

He then left his victim's naked and posed after death.


Authorities say DNA evidence linked Hughes to the killings, which occurred between 1986 and 1993.

Hughes is already serving a life sentence for killing four women in the early 1990s.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- `Zebra killer" inmate JCX Simon, who along with three others terrorized San Francisco with a mid-1970s killing spree that included 14 murders, has been found dead in San Quentin prison cell, prison authorities said.

Simon was convicted with Larry Green, Manuel Moore and Jessie Lee Cooks of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder after an 18-hour deliberation by the jury in 1976.

The men were charged with 14 murders and eight assaults. There were 22 crimes in a six-month crime spree involving mostly white victims.

Murder victims
MIAMI HERALD STAFF
Updated August 12, 2014 2:50 PM

Members of the BLACK PSYCHOTIC Yahweh sect are responsible for 14 murders in Dade, according to the federal indictment unsealed Wednesday. The following information about the victims is based on the indictment and other court records.

* Aston Green, 26, a mechanic.
On Nov. 12, 1981, Green, a member of a Yahweh defector group, was beaten by several Yahweh members, and then, while still alive, taken to West Dade, where he was decapitated. A jogger found the body. A medical examiner said the killer apparently used a machete while Green was still alive. According to court testimony, approximately 10 sect members took Green into a back room of the Yahwehs' Temple of Love, beat him, bound and gagged him, wrapped him in a carpet or a blanket, and drove off with him in a red Ford Galaxy owned by Enoch Israel, a "goon squad" security man for the Yahwehs.

* Carlton Carey, 34, an accountant. On Nov. 14, 1981, Carey, also a member of the defector group, and Mildred Banks, 30, a postal clerk, made statements to homicide detectives about the beheading of Green, their roommate. The couple told police they feared for their lives and were thinking about buying a gun for protection. Early the next morning, as they arrived home in Carol City from the police station, two hooded gunmen ambushed the pair. Banks, shot and suffering from a massive neck wound, survived. Carey died of bullet wounds. Police say the killers apparently intended to decapitate the couple.

* Leonard Dupree, 22, former U.S. karate champion. On Sept. 17, 1983, Dupree, branded a dissident, was attacked in the temple and beaten to death by a crowd of Yahweh members after an altercation with a female Yahweh member. His body was never found.

* Glendell G. Fowler, 52, a hospital technician, and Kurt Doerr, 44, a waiter. On April 19, 1986, a neighbor discovered their bodies, stabbed to death in bed, in a Coconut Grove apartment.

* Clair Walters, 36, an unemployed carpenter. On May 22, 1986, someone slashed Walters' throat and amputated his left ear. The ear was missing from the crime scene. A Miami SWAT team, training in an abandoned motel on Biscayne Boulevard, found the body.

* James Lee Myers, 30, an unemployed janitor. On July 21, 1986, someone stabbed Myers to death, cutting, but not severing, his right ear. A male prostitute found the body at 5995 Biscayne Blvd.

* Lyle Austin Bellinger, 22, unemployed and homeless. On Sept. 5, 1986, Bellinger was stabbed to death near Biscayne Boulevard. A fisherman found his body in a field north of Northwest 82nd Street and west of the Little River Canal Dam. Almost immediately, police suspected "religious overtones" were involved in his death. Bellinger died of multiple stab wounds to his upper body and torso that exposed his intestines. The indictment says Yahweh member Carl Douglas Perry, also known as Aher Israel, killed Bellinger.

* Raymond Kelly, 61, a motor-pool mechanic for the city of South Miami. On Sept. 5, 1986, someone stabbed Kelley to death, severing both ears. His body, spectacles still on, was found in his car, parked at the Teepee Lounge on South Dixie Highway. The left ear was missing; the right ear was found near the car. Yahweh member Robert Rozier, 33, a former professional football player, confessed to the murder. He testified that the ear was brought back and presented to the sect leader as a symbol of a "confirmed kill." Rozier says he and another Yahweh were ordered to pick a white victim at random to avenge the death of a black man. The victim "just happened to be there." The sect leader "always taught that we keep the law against the devils, the white devils, " Rozier testified. "When they kill one of us, we kill one of them. . . . He teaches that since white people believe that all black people look alike, we believe all white people look alike."

* Cecil Branch, 45, a garbage man known as "Big Man." On Sept. 20, 1986, four men -- three in turbans -- approached Branch's house, witnesses testified. The killers stabbed him 25 times, severing the top of his right ear. The ear was missing from the crime scene. The landlord, a cop, found Branch's body, bound and gagged, in his house. Before the murder, Branch confronted Yahwehs soliciting donations, witnesses testified. He pushed a Yahweh woman, who became hysterical. She wrote down his license tag as other devotees screamed, "Yahweh! Yahweh!" Three Yahweh men -- a state prosecutor called them "bone crushers" -- showed up briefly. Later, Branch chased Yahweh women away from his home. Rozier pleaded guilty. Three accomplices were not charged at the time.

* Harry Byers, 68, a street person with a drinking problem. On Oct. 1, 1986, someone stabbed Byers to death, severing and taking his left ear. A cop, exercising his police dog, found the body in front of a park bench at Legion Park on Biscayne Boulevard.

* Reinaldo Echevarria. On Oct. 10, 1986, Echevarria was stabbed to death near Northwest 103rd Street and 30th Avenue by Brian K. Lewis, also known as Hezion Israel. The Dade state attorney's office decided not to file charges after Lewis, who was injured during the attack, claimed it was self-defense.

* Rudy Broussard, 37, and Anthony Brown, 28, both tenants opposing a Yahweh takeover of an Opa-locka apartment complex. On Oct. 31, 1986, Yahwehs lured Broussard out of his apartment. He was shot in the head. The killers chased Brown, forced him to the ground and shot him as he pleaded for mercy, witnesses testified. Rozier pleaded guilty to both murders, although he denied he shot either victim. He named two accomplices, Aher Israel and Seth Israel. Aher was not charged. In December 1987, Seth died of a gunshot wound during a drug dispute at a Miami motel.

The left ear was missing; the right ear was found near the car. Yahweh member Robert Rozier, 33, a former professional football player,
HE WILL BE GETTING PAROLE PROBABLY IN 2027


Criminal activity​

While playing professional football in Canada, Rozier allegedly wrote bad checks for US$20,000–30,000 (equivalent to about $53,000–80,000 in 2022). By November 1986, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police had 32 warrants for fraud against Rozier.[2]

Nation of Yahweh​

After meeting founder Yahweh ben Yahweh in 1982,[4] by 1986, Rozier had become an ardent supplicant to the Nation of Yahweh, a religious movement that "teaches that American blacks are the true Jews."[5] He donated all of his possessions, and took the name Neariah Israel.[5]

In an effort to join the Yahweh's "Brotherhood"—"a secret group […] of tall, muscular young men available for discrete missions"—Rozier undertook the initiation of killing random "white devils". In April 1986, in the Miami neighborhood of Coconut Grove, Rozier followed a drunk white man to his apartment and killed him and his roommate with a twelve-inch (300 mm) Japanese knife.[4] On September 5, Rozier and another Brotherhood member killed the unconscious 61-year-old Raymond Kelly,[6] who was parked in a bar parking lot; the two men cut off the victim's ear to show ben Yahweh, and when they lost it, returned to the body to cut off the other.[4] Fifteen days later, Rozier and three other Yahwehs killed 45-year-old Cecil Branch (stabbing him 25 times) in retaliation for a previous confrontation.[6]

On October 27, 1986, the Nation of Yahweh bought a five-building apartment complex in Opa-locka, Florida, for $480,000 (equivalent to about $1.28 million in 2022). Under the auspices of trying to improve the property, Yahweh members spent that week attempting to evict residents. On October 31, 28-year-old Anthony Brown and 37-year-old Rudolph Broussard were shot to death, and Rozier was charged with one count of first-degree murder.[7]

Upon Rozier's arrest, he told police that "he was 404 years old and couldn't remember his life before conversion." For seven months, the Nation supported Rozier with a lawyer (Ellis Rubin) and a public-relations campaign; when Rozier issued an ultimatum to the church for a different lawyer, he was excommunicated. In March 1988, Rozier turned state's evidence in exchange for a 22-year sentence. He told of the Nation of Yahweh's crimes to the Metro-Dade Police Department (MDPD): some murders were committed in retaliation, some members of the church would brag about killing on behalf of the group, and a church rumor told of its own involvement in the 1983 public beating death of martial artist Leonard Dupree. Rozier also explained about the Brotherhood, its initiation, and its purpose. All-told, Rozier personally confessed to four murders.[5]

By 1990, the MDPD had built a "14-murder conspiracy indictment against 16 members of the Yahweh Nation and their spiritual leader, Yahweh Ben Yahweh." This case relied heavily upon Rozier's claims, a vector of attack used by Yahwehs' criminal defense lawyers; Patricia Williams (defending Judith Israel a.k.a. Linda Gaines) claimed "Robert Rozier is singing a song in order to avoid a life sentence or death sentence", and Curtis Jones (defending Isaiah Solomon Israel a.k.a. James Littlejohn) alleged that "He's the biggest liar […] I dare say the man would lie on his mother, much less Yahweh Ben Yahweh, his friends and associates. ... He's been able to elude Old Sparky (Florida's electric chair) four times." Despite these attacks on Rozier, the MDPD had never caught the man in a lie.[5] Ultimately, ben Yahweh was acquitted of murder after Rozier was discredited.[3]

For his 22-year sentence, Rozier was imprisoned outside of Florida under a new name courtesy the United States Federal Witness Protection Program.[5] In 1996, after ten years behind bars, Rozier was paroled with the new identity of Robert Rameses. In 1999, he expressed remorse for his crimes, telling the Associated Press that he had "rebuilt his life in an intense spiritual and intellectual transformation."[3]

Third strike​

On February 5, 1999,[8] Rozier was arrested (as Rameses) by El Dorado County, California, sheriff's deputies[3] for a bounced check of $66 (equivalent to $115.94 in 2022). Rozier volunteered his criminal past and former identity; though the new charge would otherwise be a misdemeanor, under California's then-new three-strikes law, state prosecutors sought felony charges. His bail was set at $10 million (equivalent to about $18M in 2022). By May 2000, Rozier was imprisoned in South Lake Tahoe, California, waiting for a June trial.[8] At the conclusion of his trial in Placerville, California, Rozier was convicted of bouncing 27 checks for a total of $2,200 (equivalent to $3,865 in 2022); he was sentenced to prison for 25 years-to-life on January 12, 2001.[9] Under his witness-protection alias, Rozier was denied parole on February 16, 2022, and is not eligible for another hearing until 2027.[10] As of September 2023, Rozier was imprisoned at Mule Creek State Prison as Rameses, with prisoner number P99863.[11]
