Antwan Tamon Mims (born February 14, 1978) is an American criminal who was added to the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list on June 27, 2018. [1] [2] Mims was captured on July 31, 2018. [3] He was found guilty within just 3 hours, and in March 2019, he was sentenced to life in prison. [4]
Mims was wanted for the murders of Cortez Lamont Miller and Michael Canthrell Johnson, which occurred on March 25, 2018, [5] while they were attending a house party in Benton Harbor, Michigan. Mims is known to be a member of the Gangster Disciples Street Gang. [6]
In December 2005, charges related to a triple murder that took place on March 26, 2005, involving Rodney Stevens (30) Juwan Stevens (12) and Ursulla Allen (33) in Benton Harbor, Michigan, were dismissed without prejudice by the Berrien County Prosecutor when Mims was charged with federal narcotic crimes. Mim's co-defendants, Andrew Miller Jr. and Corey McCall, received mandatory life sentences with no chance of parole for their involvement in those murders. It is unclear why the Berrien County did not pursue the 2005 charges, which, if Mims had been convicted of either 1st Degree Murder or Felony Homicide, would have resulted in life in prison with no chance of parole in 2005, which might have prevented him from committing the March 25, 2018, homicides.
