Murder Suspect on Ankle Monitor Commits Second Homicide While on Bond
Nyyon Sanders, out on bond for a 2022 murder, is accused of a second homicide after allegedly allowing his ankle monitor battery to die. This incident has again brought scrutiny to Accupoint, the private monitoring company, with Presiding Judge Wesley Pipes considering severing ties due to repeated failures. District Attorney Keith Blackwood cites this as a system failure, highlighting the urgent need for either improved private monitoring or a shift to sheriff’s office oversight, contingent upon securing adequate funding. Both Sanders brothers, Nyyon and Kevin, had their bonds revoked following the November murder.
