Suspected Killer In Miramar Triple Murder Enters Plea

FT. LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) – The man suspected of a triple murder in Miramar two years ago appeared before a judge Tuesday morning.

During the hearing, 33-year old Kevin Pratt pleaded not guilty to three counts of first degree murder and one count of attempted murder.

According to Camille Hamilton, the sole survivor of the shooting, on that day in August 2009 she went shopping with her daughter, 15-year-old Nekitta Hamilton, for the girl's upcoming Sweet 16 party. After their trip to the mall, they went to the home of 49-year-old Faith Bisasor in the 9500 block of Encino Street in Miramar where they planned to hang out.

Hamilton said a man she had never seen before came into the house and began shooting. Her daughter, Bisasor and Bisasor's 15-year-old son Davion Bishop all died that day. Hamilton, who was shot in the head, didn't regain consciousness for several hours.

Police shared out a sketch after the murders, but the crime remained unsolved up until recently.
Using DNA found on duct tape inside the home, police were able to identify Pratt.

According to police, Pratt denied any involvement in the murders. Police believe the shooting was a completely random act and that Pratt, who was homeless at the time, only got away with $80.

Pratt has a criminal record. In February 2010, according to the Florida Department of Corrections, he was arrested and charged for battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest with violence. He was also arrested for trespassing and loitering. In 1998, he was charged with carrying a concealed firearm, fleeing and aggravate battery on a law enforcement officer. In 994, he also faced multiple charges, including robbery.
