For years, Kennedy Tendai Moyosvi’s name kept resurfacing in Dallas County mugshots. Between 2012 and 2015, he was arrested five different times, each booking photo painting the portrait of a man slipping deeper into trouble. His rap sheet tells the story of repeated run-ins with the law — but it was his final arrest that sealed his fate.
The charge? Probation Violation – Assault on a Family/Household Member with a Previous Conviction. Under Texas law, that’s no small matter. Already carrying the weight of a prior assault conviction, Moyosvi’s violation meant the judge had no patience left. Instead of another chance, he was hit with a 10-year prison sentence.
Behind bars, his American dream crumbled. After serving his time, U.S. authorities placed him on a deportation flight, sending him back to Zimbabwe, the country he had left behind years earlier.
Now 42, Moyosvi’s story is circulating across social media as a cautionary tale — a man who once had the chance to build a new life in the United States but whose repeated arrests, court battles, and probation violations ended in handcuffs, prison bars, and ultimately, deportation.
