Summary of Offense:
Convicted and sentenced to death in the 2005 murder of 46-year-old Linda Volum, who was found dead in her Southside home, her car missing. Prosecutors said items Banks purchased and left in Volum's car were key to his conviction. Police also found Volum's stolen laptop at the home of Banks' girlfriend. Banks was sentenced to life in prison for stabbing a man during a robbery outside an Arlington convenience store earlier in 2005. The arrest report said Banks admitted stabbing Volum to his girlfriend, and accidentally stabbed himself. Investigators believe that meant the victim fought back. Two bloody footprints found at the crime scene matched Banks' DNA.
Banks was sentenced to death in Duval County on August 15, 2008.
