Who is James Dawkins? Man Arrested for Stabbing Miami Pastor Antwane Lenoir

James Dawkins, 44, has been arrested for stabbing and killing a Miami Area pastor, Antwane Lenoir, 41.

Dawkins stabbed Lenoir multiple times Saturday, April 6th 2024 at Westview Baptist Church on NW 24th Avenue in Miami following a verbal altercation.

According to reports, Lenoir had temporarily allowed Dawkins – who played the keyboard at the church – to reside in the church building.

However, it got to a point that the pastor wanted to end the arrangement but Dawkins refused, leading to him calling in a locksmith to change the locks to several doors.

This action led to a verbal showdown between the duo which ended with Dawkins stabbing Lenoir dead.

Police arrested the suspect Sunday in the area of NW 62nd Street and NW 27th Avenue and took him into custody.

He faces charges of first-degree murder.

“There’s so much I can say but I don’t know what to say. I never would’ve thought, never would’ve dreamed that my grandson would leave me,” said Patty Jones-Woods, the pastor’s grandmother.

“Anybody take somebody away, that’s been so good, gave you a place to stay, gave you food and then you do this to them?” said Helen Lenoir, the pastor’s mother.

The deceased was a father of four, his wife revealed.

His killer is being held without bond.
