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 wasnt 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 girls 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.

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

(1,666 posts)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.

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

(1,666 posts)Just saying that Ive seen 19 (and older for that matter) get put in a lot younger framing depending on the story.

(2,403 posts)I personally dont 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 dont think it does society when we excuse or blunt the severity of their actions because they hadnt lived a full life.
