Elliott Akim

Elliott Joseph Akim (born June 19, 1987, died January 3, 2008) was a convicted felon and criminal.

Personal Life
Akim was born on June 19, 1987 in Kissimmee, Florida to Abdel and Virginia. Abdel was a telemarketer while Virginia was a supermarket clerk. Akim and his family had a very rough life with lots of financial struggles. On the night of June 18, 2005, Akim's parents were both killed in a horrendous car crash in Tampa, Florida, leaving him to man the house. However, he was evicted from his house a year later and was forced to live in a trailer park the rest of his life. He was never married or had any children.

Orlando Dunkin' Donuts Robbery of 2006
On the morning of 7:25 AM on June 1, 2006, Akim robbed a Dunkin' Donuts in Orlando, Florida on International Drive by holding two employees hostage with a gun. None of the employees and customers were killed or injured, but Akim was sentenced to four months in prison. He was later released on $35,000 bond after two months.

Death of Theodore Warner, 2007
On the morning of July 16, 2007, Akim was driving on Hollywood Way near Universal Studios Orlando in his 1999 Chevrolet Camaro convertible. He was driving at very high speeds and crashed into Theodore Warner's car, which had him and his family on board. This caused a major accident since Akim ran the red light. Warner's wife, Shirlena did sustain minor injuries, but his children, William and Kendra suffered major injuries. Though Shirlena, William, and Kendra made a miraculous recovery, Theodore did not survive as he died from the crash. Authorities said that what caused his death is that when the crash occurred, his head hit the side of the window and glass stabbed his skull, which made him lose his consciousness. Akim was arrested for vehicular manslaughter and was sentenced to twelve months in prison. Police did not identify any alcohol or drugs in Akim's body while driving, but they considered it very reckless driving.

Prison stabbing 2007
Just after being sent to prison for causing the death of Theodore Warner, Akim had a rage fit and stabbed a fellow prisoner. As a result, Akim was given a life sentence and was sent to the maximum security cell of the prison.

Death
On the evening of January 3, 2008 at 11:13 PM, Akim was very depressed and got into an extremely violent altercation with a police officer and two prisoners. As he was about to strangle one of the prisoners, Akim had a massive heart attack, fainted, and died. He was 20 years old; just five months shy of his 21st birthday. According to the coroner, one of the causes of his heart attack was excited delirium syndrome. He was buried at the Florida State Prison cemetery on January 5, 2008.
