Twin gay-porn stars arrested in rooftop burglaries

TWINS Keyontyli and Taleon Goffney have been arrested for allegedly breaking into area businesses by cutting rooftop holes to gain entry. Turns out, they were also just as skilled at breaking into their second, more respectable careers - as hardcore gay-porn stars. 

The 25-year-old Goffney twins, both of New Jersey, were arrested Feb. 19. They were charged with breaking into Moon's Beauty Shop at 9th and Washington streets in South Philadelphia and the adjoining Wings and More, using only a handsaw and ax to get in through the roofs of the establishments. 

A Rite Aid at Front Street and Snyder Avenue was burglarized in a similar fashion the previous day. On Feb. 8, Taleon Goffney is alleged to have committed similar burglaries at Wawas in Nether Providence and Wallingford, Delaware County, according to police. 

Chief Richard Slifer of Nether Providence said cash, cigarettes and condoms had been among the items taken.

The twins are the focus of a tristate Rooftop Burglary Task force, led by New Jersey investigators, the state where many of the 40-some rooftop burglaries have been committed over the last 18 months. 

The Goffney twins are also the focus of numerous hardcore Internet gay-porn videos - some of which they star in together under the stage names Keyon and Teyon, according to several Internet sites that write about modeling and gay culture.

In "Marc and the Twins," which was distributed only online, the Goffneys are hanging out on the Las Vegas strip when they offer to audition for "Marc," a chiseled black porn star who happens to pass by. 

The three take the "audition" to a seedy hotel room. Although "Marc" is the focus of the encounter, the twins can be seen rubbing each other's chests and getting cozy. 

"Marc and the Twins" seems to be the most popular of the online porn films that star Taleon and Keyontyli. Their co-star in the film, Marc Williams, is a fairly big name in gay porn, according to Erik Schut, editorial director of Philadelphia-based TLA Entertainment Group. 

The company's Web site, TLAVideo.com, is the nation's largest retailer of gay porn DVDs. To Schut's knowledge, the twins have not appeared in any porn films available on DVD, but he said if they had chosen to further their career in porn, "They could have been huge." 

 "Two incredibly beautiful black men and twins - it's unprecedented," Schut said. "Ethnic, gay models are rare." 

In fact, Keyontyli, a graduate of the Barbizon School of Modeling, seems to have had legitimate gigs as a model, according to his portfolios on Jurgita.com and NYCastings.com. 

 He has served as a runway model for clothing companies BOIISH and Azzure, and this month, he has a seven-page spread in CLIK, a magazine for black gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people. He lists several television appearances in his portfolio, including gigs as a "seat filler" on VH1's "Save the Music," and a "Super Bowl shuffler" in a "Saturday Night Live" skit. 

Taleon also has a lengthy portfolio - but his is kept by the police. 

"Taleon is a bad, bad dude," one police source said. 

Chief Dave Kunkel of Clementon, N.J., had no trouble recalling his department's run-in with Taleon in 2006. 

Officers conducting surveillance work at an apartment complex spotted Taleon running up the building's walls and turning back flips. 

 "The officers said, 'We're glad we're not going after him,' " Kunkel recalled. "Lo and behold, after that, he began conducting open-air, hand-to-hand drug sales." 

Police arrested Taleon for possessing about a half-ounce of crack cocaine and a loaded .25-caliber automatic handgun. While handcuffed in the back of the moving car, Taleon smashed out the rear window by head-butting it, police said. He then dove through the window and its steel frame, causing $1,800 in damage, Kunkel said. 

After landing on his face, Taleon rose to his feet and, while still handcuffed, fled on foot and into a nearby pond, police said.

"He swam across like Flipper, taunting the officers saying, 'You'll never catch me,' " Kunkel said.

Indeed, they didn't. Two officers were injured while chasing Taleon. A week later, he turned himself in. But he didn't return the department's handcuffs, Kunkel said. 

Kunkel was unaware what sentence Taleon received in the case, but he noted that at the time of Taleon's arrest he also was facing charges in other New Jersey counties and in Delaware. 

The Camden County Prosecutor's Office said it was prohibited from releasing information regarding Taleon's record or his criminal history. 

Several lead investigators with the Rooftop Burglary Task Force in Pennsylvania and New Jersey declined to comment yesterday on the case, fearing that it would jeopardize their ongoing investigations. 

According to a police source and online court records, the Goffney brothers are scheduled for a preliminary hearing in Philadelphia tomorrow on charges of burglary, trespassing, theft and related crimes.

According to the source, both men remain in prison. Online court records, however, indicate that Keyontyli may be free on $75,000 bail while his brother remains in prison on $150,000 bail. *

STAMFORD -- A murder mystery is unfolding in Connecticut. A hard-working and well-liked young man was found inside his car, shot to death. His body was found near Myano lane, on the border between Stamford and Greenwich. Eyewitness News reporter Marcus Solis has more. Gregory Rowell held down two jobs and worked seven days a week. Still, he did not live in this area, and relatives say he had few friends there. So the main questions that police are looking to answer are what was Rowell doing there and who would want to kill him? "Why? You see my baby?" Patricia Rowell asked, holding up pictures of her son. "You see my baby?" A mother is grieving as she struggles to understand. This morning, Gregory Rowell was found dead, seated in his white SUV. It is unclear when Rowell was shot, but police were called to the Rippowam Park apartment complex just before 6 a.m. "They pretty much know everybody's cars and everybody's visitors' cars, and this car seemed suspicious because they didn't know whose it was," Stamford police Captain Richard Conklin said. "Also, the fact that the lights were on." Rowell was pronounced dead at the scene. Police say the 22-year old has no known links to drug or gang activity. His cousin is a Stamford police officer. Rowell worked two jobs, one at a retail store in the Stamford town center, the other as an assistant front desk manager at the Hyatt Regency in Greenwich. "He did a great job at the front desk," Hyatt Regency general manager Thomas Delaney said. "He worked for us for about six months, and he was a joy to work with." As police searched the crime scene, stunned friends and relatives descended on Myano Lane. Rowell's brother had to be restrained from approaching the vehicle. The question on everyone's mind is simple: Who would do this? "He doesn't bother anyone," sister Amber Walker said. "He doesn't mix into different crowds. He has his inner circle and that's it. So I have no idea. This is a shock." "He was help you, he'd be your friend for life," Patricia Rowell said. "And his life is gone."The vehicle that the victim was found in has been taking from the parking lot. Candles mark the spot. Officials say forensic testing will be done on the car. An autopsy will be performed Thursday. Police say they have a number of leads, but so far, no arrests have been made.

Another Loss: Roberto Duncanson

Today I received a troubling email from a friend at the Rashawn Brazell Memorial Fund. They received and email from someone who knew Roberto Duncanson, who the writer of the email says people in the Black gay community knew as Pancho. I won’t publish the name of the writer of the email since I don’t have his permission, but he does say he wants to get the word out, so I thought this would be a good place to start. 

(The email states: A young man that I knew named “Pancho” (or “Poncho”) and his friend were confronted by one or more men in Brooklyn who had called one of both of them “faggot.” I believe this took place on St. Marks Avenue near New York Avenue from what has been relayed to me and from a short clip that I found in Sunday’s NY Daily News (page 15 in the “NY Minute” section). The confrontation resulted in the young man being stabbed and he died. He was only 20 years old. I’ve confirmed the story with a mutual friend who got the news Friday night while we were out together.  )

Thank you for sharing the story…just as with brazell’s ordeal…the police, and the media fall short in relaying the facts and informing the people…yet they never miss a beat on slandering the person who many are grieving for. L and I ( S) live in DC and only got wind of bits and pieces of the tragedy…no one is sure of anything except that he was stabbed, and that there is a warrant out for him…funny how our media will investigate the bloody hell out of a lost college co-ed…that in reality had a little too much to drink and decided to go for a mid-night run to ANYWHERE…but spend only half a min to get the dirt on someone who unfortunately didnt even get to make his 21st birthday…yea the location/identification of the person(s) who assulted and lead to his death are being “investigated” but How fast and reliable are the people that are looking?? considering not even after they shared his name, they mention he had a warrant out for his arrest…this is most certainly a HATE CRIME…so much for being BLACK GAY and MALE in AMERICA!!… In memory of Pancho…baby We will never forget…we wont stop trying!

RIP PANCHO. I ONLY MET YOU ONCE, BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU WAS NOT DESERVED. I DO HOPE THEY FIND WHO DID THIS TO YOU. MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO YOU, YOUR FAMILY, AND YOUR FRIENDS. PE2CE T. Evans // May 17th 2007 at 7:03 pm I agree, Mr. Farrow… What does a warrent have to do with the fact that this young brother was murdered?… When incidents such as this garner only tiny blurbs deep within the recesses of a “NY Minute,” I’m left believing the curious choice to make a note of a warrant is done so to devalue the life of the victim. Why?… Most likely to assuage the guilt of not caring enough about a human life (due to race and/or sexual identity) to put forward a proper effort to do justice to the story by giving it both the compassion and coverage time, space, and location it truly deserves… So, to make someone feel better about their journalistic — and human — negligence, a subtle implication of thuggish impropriety is dropped into the mix.

Thanks Kenyon for posting this. When I first moved to Brooklyn I lived on the block Pancho was killed on. Pancho, Rashawn, Michael, Sakia, the list is already too long and I can keep on going. I agree with Kenyon that vigils and crimestoppers aren’t going to stop this. Its about all of us coming together to change a culture that says that our lives are worthless. We have to prevent violence before it starts and respond once it happens. I work at the Audre Lorde Project on a program called the SAFE OUTside the System Collective. We’re a bunch of LGBT people of color in Brooklyn who meet twice a month to create strategies to challenge hate and police violence. We had an emergency meeting on Tuesday night and several volunteers and I are available to support family and friends of Pancho in whatever way we can. Please feel free to call me (718) 596-0342 x22. 

Also please join us. We’re starting a campaign to reduce homophobia and transphobia in Brooklyn. We’re going to start asking businesses, schools, churches, restaurants, etc. to become safe spaces for our community. We need all of the help that we can get. Justice for Pancho and everyone else we have lost too soon! SARA // May 18th 2007 at 6:57 pm 

DAMN BERTO REST IN PEACE BABY. WE ALL MISS YOU SO MUCH WICHA CRAZY AZZ. ITS SO IRRELEVANT FOR THE WARRANT TO BE MENTIONED. IT WAS FROM A TICKET FOR BEING IN THE PARK AFTER DARK… SOMETHING SO STUPID YET THEY FELT THEY HAD TO WRITE IT IN THE PAPER. SARA T. Evans // May 20th 2007 at 2:51 pm 

Hey… Just logged on and recalled that today is the day of Roberto’s funeral. So, I’d like to offer my condolences to his family, friends and any & all who loved this young brother… But most importantly, I’d like to offer Roberto a heart-felt salute for being courageous and brave enough to choose to live his life open, honest, and with pride of who he was… And at such a young age, too… All props, lil’ Bro. p.s. I didn’t really know this young man, but his story has touch me nonetheless… Wish I could be in NY today, but such is not possible. Beanie Sigel.

I knew Pancho for all of my life .There was nothing that we didnt do together.But what kills me the most is that his last months on earth we were not speaking which lead him to reach out to others and head down a path that wasnt meant for him!i know in my heart if he had his right hand bitch ‘Tiff’ none of this would have happened. I know you walking with me ,and because of your unfortunate demise , Im wiser ,smarter and safer walking these streets.I love you to death and I will forever miss you my dude. ”ONLY DA GOOD DIE YOUNG” With Love Ya BF Tiff P.S.

I read through all the messages on this thread and am truly touched by everyone’s sentiment… I can feel all the love that people had for Roberto…get a real sense of how loved he was and how greatly his presence on this earth is missed…Roberto’s murder makes me sad, it makes my heart heavy with grief, and I didn’t even know him. But what I do know is that it could have been anyone. It could have been me, you or someone else you love. And that’s why I do all I can to TRY to make a difference…so I ask all of Pancho’s mourners - everyone that has posted here and everyone reading this now….WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MAKE SURE ROBERTO DIDN’T DIE FOR NOTHING? HOW ARE YOU MAKING YOUR STREETS SAFER? Don’t let his death be in vain!! Unfortunately, Roberto is not the first, gay person of colored brutally murdered on our city streets, and if nothing continues to be done - he will not be the last. I beg you - if you’re sentiments are true, let them give you the motivation to get out there and do something, so that someone else down the road isn’t posting on some message board about how much they are going to miss a loved one because they were murdered as a byproduct of ignorance, hate and intolerance. YOU CAN BE THE DIFFERNCE! GET INVOLVED! DO SOMETHING! I volunteer with the Safe OUTside the System Collective in Brooklyn. I saw that Ejeris posted earlier - props to her for all the hard work she does. We are out there, on the streets, in the clubs, at The Lab, doing outreach, meeting twice a month working on getting things RIGHT in our community! Right now we’re recruiting folks who will help us fight this battle against police and hate violence. If you would like to join us, feel free to call Ejeris at (718) 596-0342 x22 or just stop by The Audre Lorde Project at 85 South Oxford Street, BK, NY 11217 - ring the bell - tell them that you want to join the good fight - I’m sure you’ll get buzzed in! Our next open meeting is Tuesday, June19th 2007 @ 7pm. Hope to meet some of you there. peace.. -smh
