The worst suspect sketch ever somehow leads to Teen arrest
The worst suspect sketch ever somehow leads to police arresting Florida teen in 2014 slaying of New York rabbi
Deandre Charles was arrested in death of 60-year-old Rabbi Joseph Raksin
Miami police found him thanks in part to awkward sketch drawn by witness
Charles, 15, was arrested last week following a 16-month investigation
Raksin was shot dead on August 9, 2014, while he was visiting from NYC
Grand jury indicted Charles for murder and attempted armed robbery
Although the sketch is awkward, it did help police track down and arrest the 15-year-old murder suspect

Police charged a 15-year-old student in the slaying of a New York rabbi who was on his way to temple in Miami - and they released an image of the sketch that helped to catch him.
Miami-Dade Police spokeswoman Jennifer Capote said last Wednesday that homicide detectives had arrested Deandre Charles in connection with the death of 60-year-old Rabbi Joseph Raksin.

Raksin was shot dead August 9, 2014, in Miami, where he had been visiting family from New York.
A witness to the crime drew the sketch of Raksin that led to his arrest, according to WSVN.
At the time, authorities said the slaying appeared to have been a robbery gone bad, but had not ruled out a hate crime.
But authorities called it a crime of opportunity during a press conference last week.
The Miami Herald reports DNA and eyewitness testimony helped identity Charles.
Charles was arrested for the August 9, 2014 killing of Rabbi Joseph Raksin
Quote:
The Brooklyn-based rabbi, who was a father-of-six and was in Florida visiting his two daughters and grandchildren, was walking along Northeast 175th Street when two men approached him.
Police said there was an altercation before Mr Raksin was shot, but Yona Lunger, a Jewish community activist, said he spoke to a witness who told him he was shot immediately by one of the men.
He was airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he later died.
I mean I guess it worked in this case, but... 
@ 15 year old and being a murderer
