3 years ago Parada shot Johnson several times. Ja’Kez Kyiesh Johnson was taken to the hospital and a few days later died.
According to CMPD:
On Saturday, July 8, 2023, shortly before 5:00 p.m., officers responded to an Assault with a Deadly Weapon call for service in the 5000 block of Curtiswood Drive. Upon arrival, officers located a male victim with multiple gunshot wounds. MEDIC transported the victim to Atrium Health Main with life threatening injuries..
On Thursday, July 13, 2023, the CMPD’s Violent Criminal Apprehension Team (VCAT) arrested a 15-year-old juvenile suspect and Emanuel Isaac Parada (DOB: 11/30/2003).
Parada, who was 19 at the time, was also charged with possession with intent to sell or deliver marijuana and possession of a stolen firearm. At the time he killed Johnson, he had just been convicted on weapons charges and sentenced to probation and community service.
Last month, Parada pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the case with a plea deal that would not only drop the first degree murder charge but also the drug and weapons charges.
Parada was sentenced to 157-201 months in prison and ordered to pay on May 14, 2026 by Mecklenburg Superior Court Judge William T. Stetzer.
The sentence calls for 157-205 months, but basically that means 13 years less his time served he'll be eligible for release on parole in less than 4 years.
Cedar's Take:
If you're black or if your child is black judges like Stetzer and DA's like Merriweather place little on black lives. About $10,000 the amount of restitution order to be paid by the killer to help the family with funeral costs.

These immigrants have come in and taken over the jobs all of the jobs prior generations of young Black males took. This guy needs to be deported so our youth can have a chance to make a little money and learn entrepreneurship. Ja'Kez never had a chance when the opportunity is taken before you can prove yourself.
ReplyDeleteDamn right. Because of these illegal aliens, these young black males are now forced to sling dope at corners and gas stations. Because of the lack of stolen job opportunities, these young black males are now forced to work overtime al nights now too. Lets make american great again and deport these aliens.
DeleteMy Black friends can't even sling a dime bag nowadays. Thats the Venezuelan job. If I need party pills, I gotta call an amigo. Bring back the days where a brother could sell enough to keep gas in his Charger instead of having to steal guns for date money.
