The affidavit also states that a coworker of Ledoris Randle told her that one of the men that drugs allegedly belonged to was Fields and that he “has a history with kidnapping people.”
After an extensive search, authorities eventually found Shavon Randle and 19-year-old Michael Titus, a person of interest in the case, dead in the abandoned house.
