Teen admits killing girl and her parents after he was caught in her bedroom

A California teenager admitted he killed a 16-year-old girl and her parents after he was caught with her in her bedroom, prosecutors said.

Mauricio Johnson, 19, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to the triple murder and received a 150-year prison sentence, the Humboldt County District Attorney said.

Johnson killed Nikki Metcalf, 40, Margarett Moon, 40 and Shelly Autumn May Moon – who wasn’t identified by the DA – on Feb. 9 in their home on the Bear River Band of the Rohnerville Rancheria Reservation.

The teenager entered the home “with the permission of several minors” who lived there, prosecutors said. But after most of the house had gone to bed, stepfather Metcalf walked into the girl’s bedroom and found Johnson and the girl, the DA said in a statement.

The teenagers were getting “intimate” and Metcalf hit Johnson who ran from the room with his pants down, according to a warrant cited by lawandcrime.com.

The mother, woken by the gunfire, was shot when she walked into the living room, the publication stated. Johnson then shot the girl “because he did not want to have any witnesses,” lawandcrime.com said.

I mean, thank God and the NRA there was at least one gun in the house.

Otherwise, think of how embarrassed this kid would have been, caught in his girlfriend's bed unable to shoot his way out.

It works in this case, but try bringing that up if the news story were a 19 year old killed in a mass shooting. The narrative would be he is a child and your comment would get a whole lot of crap about splitting hairs. This story has the “19 is in the adult category today” blessing.

He isn’t a person that was killed.

My point is that we are raising toxic men that resort to violence. He is not a child.

Just saying that I’ve seen 19 (and older for that matter) get put in a lot younger framing depending on the story.

I personally don’t care for the framing of 19-30 year olds as kids. I do understand the tragedy when something happens to someone who had not lived a full life yet but I don’t think it does society when we excuse or blunt the severity of their actions because they hadn’t lived a full life.
