A man accused of killing a pastor in Miami-Dade County is fighting the charges against him.
James Dawkins was in court yesterday after his arrest Sunday for the murder of Pastor Antwane Lenoir. The 41-year-old was found stabbed to death Saturday at Westview Baptist Church in Opa-locka on Northwest 24th Street. Police say Dawkins was living at the church, and he and Lenoir got into an argument when Lenoir hired a locksmith to change the locks. The 44-year-old Dawkins is charged with first-degree murder, and he pled not guilty yesterday.
He was ordered held without bond.
