'He's one of the most dangerous and violent young men I've come across and I've been in robbery for 12 years,' says a Fort Worth police detective. An 18-year-old man is tied to a string of violent robberies, police say.
Detective Brian Raynsford said Friday afternoon several law enforcement agencies are looking for 18-year-old Donavin Copeland in connection with a string of crimes.
On Friday afternoon they released a collection of photographs taken from surveillance video of the robberies that they said helped identify him as the suspect. Raynesford pointed out that in the robberies, Copeland made no attempt to cover his face or to stay away from cameras and that he had no issue using a gun.
On Dec. 27, 2022, at about 3 p.m., a man robbed a game room at 117 Longhorn Road in Fort Worth. There were two people involved in the robbery including one who pistol-whipped a victim before taking cash and the clerk's car. "All of these robberies have the same, similar M-O. Same, similar victim description. In all of these robberies, someone was shot at or pistol-whipped by the suspect. All of the victims' cars were stolen and were all later recovered at separate locations in West Fort Worth.Fort Worth Police are looking for Donavin Copeland, 18, in connection with a series of violent robberies.
Copeland was stopped by the Parker County Sheriff's Office on a traffic stop on Oct. 30, 2022. During the stop, Copeland was placed in the back of the deputy's vehicle but he escaped on foot as the deputy investigated the vehicle. Deputies reported finding a stolen gun, marijuana and fentanyl in the car.
Raynesford said Copeland is"extremely dangerous" and"a clear and present danger to the public and law enforcement."
