A Sad Tale A Mother's Pain and The Liberal Media

A local Charlotte News Operation led the other day tells a sad story of a mother's pain:

A Charlotte mother is demanding justice three years after her son was shot and killed.

20-year-old Darnel Mills was a passenger in a car that police say was driven by 44-year-old Kehlan Johnson.  (Other reports say Mills was driving when Johnson shot him in the head) 

Authorities say Johnson ran away from the scene right after the shooting, but later turned himself into police.  Mills died from his injuries 9 days later.

Now, three years after his death, Mills’ mother has learned the suspect in her son’s murder has been offered a deal by the district attorney’s office.  An 8 year prison sentence.

“They let people out on bond that shouldn’t be on bond, repeat offenders.  This is my son.  You’re telling me I can’t fight for my son?  Even if we go to trial and we lose, I fought for my son,” says Tomaceeta Hampton, Mills’ mother.

Arrest warrants show Johnson has an extensive criminal history.  He was sentenced to 65 months in jail back in 1999 for robbery with a dangerous weapon.  Mills’ mother says the DA’s office offered him a deal after Johnson underwent several mental evaluations.

Johnson is expected to be sentenced in November. 

CP's take:

Sad indeed once again life on the street in Charlotte is cheap. Leave it to liberals to "spin" this story.

Johnson has remained in the custody of MCSO since his 2019 arrest. But dig a little deeper and Tomaceeta Hampton's son wasn't exactly a "good boy".

Darnel Mills was a wanna be gangbanger, his arrest in 1998 AWDWIKISI and discharging a weapon into an occupied dwelling or vehicle, and mugshot highlight his lifestyle as much as his face tats. 

and 1999 Intimidating Witness Felony Conspiracy conviction doesn't help the case.

Both arrests and the conviction paint him like his mug shot and give the impression of anything but a good boy.

Johnson's trial date for the murder of Mills is set on November 18th, 2022. CP expects the judge to accept the plea deal and that Johnson will serve another five years in jail before being released on Charlotte citizens once again.

So is this justice?

Just A Reminder How Fast Things Can Go Ugly

Warning: The Above Video Contains Graphic Footage. 

This camera video shows Decatur Police Officers and a Macon County Sheriff's Deputy conducting a traffic stop just after midnight on October 12, 2022. 

Officers upon approaching the vehicle notice a weapon in the seat with Jamontey O. Neal. As Officers try to remove Neal from the vehicle he pulls the gun on them and fires the weapon striking one Officer several times and another officer twice. 

The videos released by the Decatur Police, 10 in all, show the 32-year-old Neal opening fire at close range range in the early morning traffic stop.

He had repeatedly refused commands to get out of the car and opened fire with one of two guns he had within his vehicle. 

The entire encounter lasts less and 90 seconds.

Decatur Sgt. Tim Wittmer's BWC shows him waiting letting his junior officer deal with the subject until he senses the threat level is too high. The video clip starts as he approaches the suspect vehicle. What he does next, likely saved the other officer's life.

More Than 100 Victims In Charlotte

The Murder of Ahylea Willard A Culture of Violence

The murder of Ahylea Willard showcases the casual manner in which kids and adults in Charlotte's African American Community view shootings.

Early Sunday morning Ahylea Willard was found by several people that lived at the Heritage Park Apartments. Video that has since been taken down shows multiple people on Facebook Live gathering around Ahylea's lifeless body. Oh my God a dead body shouts one bystander, another is laughing, then joking about her blood still being wet.

The screen grab from FaceBook live apparently shows the victim lying in grass behind her apartment.

The people (kids and adults) around her body were conspiring to steal the gold belt and gold jewelry she was wearing.  A bystander can be heard saying "I'm about to get gloves and take her jewelry and belt" as they dance laughing around her lifeless corpse.  

This is the audio only it starts after a short delay. Warning Graphic Content

To no surprise, when police arrived on scene, Ahylea's jewelry was gone.

A culture of violence, an accepted way of life in the hood. 

Ahylea Willard Murder - CMPD Needs Your Help

​Detectives with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department's Homicide Unit are requesting the public's assistance in locating the victim's vehicle taken during the recent homicide on Snow Lane.  

The Mercedes Benz C250, with North Carolina license plate number, TJV-4843 (pictured below), is believed to be connected to the murder of Ahylea Willard (DOB 09/02/1990) in the 7100 block of Snow Lane on Sunday October 23, 2022.    

The location and occupants are unknown at this time. The vehicle has been entered into the NCIC in connection to the murder.

Anyone who recognizes and/or locates this vehicle is asked to call 704-432-TIPS and speak directly to a Homicide Unit detective.  

Detective M. James is the lead detective assigned to this case.  

The public can also leave information anonymously by contacting Crime Stoppers at 704-334-1600 or http://charlottecrimestoppers.com

For additional information about this case, please refer to the report: 20221023-1028-02.

Cedar's Take: The victim had connections in the Asheboro, North Carolina area. While the Mercedes is rather common in Charlotte it would really stand out in parts on Randolph County.

I'd also expect the plate has been swapped out by now but you never know.

Liberal "Soft On Crime" Agenda Allowed Thug's Crime Spree

Liberals in Raleigh like Senator Jeff Jackson who is now running to become Charlotte's voice in Washington voted along with Democrat Governor Roy Cooper to go easy on juvenile criminals.

According to Charlotte's Channel 9 - They uncovered warrants that revealed an 18-year-old is accused of robbing more than two dozen people across Charlotte while wearing an ankle monitor.

But Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said they couldn’t use the ankle monitor to find Kaivon Dashawn Belton’s location because it was being monitored by the North Carolina's Department of Juvenile Justice.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department refused an interview with Channel 9 Tuesday.

However, reporter Dan Matics learned that detectives were trying to work with the juvenile justice system to track his ankle monitor, but the police department said bureaucracy failed.

CMPD said they couldn’t access Belton’s electric monitor due to red tape while the accused criminal was terrorizing Charlotte’s Hispanic community by robbing multiple people at gunpoint.

Jose Vasquez told Channel 9 on Monday that he was shot during an armed robbery attempt outside his house in late September.

“Then he hit me in the face, and I could no longer react,” Vasquez said. “He pushed me to the front of the house and then the other guy shot me twice.”

Detectives said Kaivon Belton and Cedius Tate, who are now adults, and two others went on a month-long crime spree preying on more than two dozen victims after they left ATMs and check-cashing stores.

Tate was arrested and released on an unsecured (cashless bail) Monday night.

Channel 9 learned from investigators on Tuesday that Belton, who recently turned 18, was on a GPS tracker that was ordered by the juvenile court system, while he committed the crimes.

“It’s a public safety crisis at this point,” said Marcus Philemon, a victim’s advocate with CharMeck Court Watch. “It could have totally been prevented.”

CMPD said it could only place his location from the device at the crimes after he was arrested.

Investigators had to wait on a search warrant because that information is protected within the juvenile justice system.

Philemon has worked with CMPD as a victim’s advocate and blames North Carolina’s decision in 2019 to send all suspects under the age of 18, no matter how violent the crime, to juvenile court.

“It tied the hands of law enforcement,” Philemon said. “It hid information from the public like juvenile record, juvenile activity.”

The system is broken everyone knew Belton was robbing and shooting people but liberal's like Jeff Jackson and Roy Cooper supported justice reforms in the name of George Floyd that prevented Law Enforcement from stopping them. 

Then in a major "Up Yours" to CMPD Officers, liberal appointed Mecklenburg County Magistrate's released Cedius Tate without bail even though he was charged with more than a dozen felonies.
