MARTIN COUNTY — The teen accused of robbing a Jensen Beach jewelry store who was shot by the jeweler as the getaway car exited the parking lot has died, and a 16-year-old accused accomplice now faces adult felony charges in the incident.

Jakeem McMillian, 17, of Pompano Beach, was accused Dec. 13 of stealing jewelry from Treasure Coast Liquidators, 2319 N.W. Federal Highway in the Granada Plaza.

John Sidney Clark IV, of Lauderhill, was waiting for Jakeem in a stolen Jeep in the parking lot, Sheriff William Snyder has said. The Jeep was stolen earlier in December out of Broward County.

While the pair exited the parking lot onto Federal Highway, the store's owner, Michael Dacey, a New York Police Department detective who retired in 2003, shot through the back window of the car and hit Jakeem in the head, deputies said. The car crashed shortly afterward.

Jakeem, who was critically injured and on life support, died Dec. 19, according to a social media post by Shiner Law Group, which is representing his family. Attorney David Shiner could not be reached for comment.

Snyder said on the day the robbery happened that if Jakeem died, John could be charged with murder because, while the duo was in the commission of a crime, one of them was critically hurt. As of Thursday afternoon, additional charges had not been added.

Assistant State Attorney David Lustgarten, who is assigned to the case, said it’s unlikely John will face a murder charge.

However, he will be tried as an adult, despite being 16, because of the nature of the crime, according to officials with the Martin County Clerk of Courts.

John was arrested Dec. 28 on three felony charges: third-degree grand theft, grand theft of a motor vehicle and leaving the scene of an accident involving personal injury. He also faces two misdemeanor charges of leaving the scene of an accident causing property damage and driving without a valid driver's license.

Before arriving in Jensen Beach that day, the teens are accused of attempting to steal items from a jewelry store in St. Lucie County. That incident occurred at Cash America Pawn in the 8400 block of South U.S. 1 in Port St. Lucie less than 45 minutes before the the Martin County incident.

Dacey, who shot Jakeem, likely will not face charges, Snyder said last month. He could not be reached Thursday.

“We walked away believing that the shooting was justified, well within the scope of using justifiable force during the commission of a forcible felony,” Snyder said after the Jensen Beach jewelry heist. “Unless something really dramatic changes, I do not anticipate any arrest coming out of this."

TCPalm, which customarily does not name juveniles accused of crimes, does name some juveniles depending on the seriousness of the crimes, their ages, aggravating circumstances and other factors.
