Boy, 11, tells cops who killed his mom, sister before he died

An 11-year-old Minnesota boy who had been shot five times was able to tell officers before he died that his mother’s boyfriend shot him and killed his mother and sister, according to criminal charges filed Tuesday.

Tekeith Jones, 26, was charged with three counts of second-degree intentional murder in the killings of D’Zondria Wallace, 30, her 13-year-old daughter La’Porsha and her 11-year-old son Ja’Corbie at their home in St Paul on Saturday.

Jones’ first court appearance was scheduled for Tuesday.

The complaint said D’Zondria was shot twice and La’Porsha was shot 10 times. Both were dead when officers arrived.

Ja’Corbie was still breathing and was taken to a hospital for an emergency surgery, but he did not survive.

Wallace’s nephew told the officers that Jones was his aunt’s ex-boyfriend and that he had been violent towards his aunt and he even fired a shot at her in the past.

According to the criminal complaint, Jones told police that he killed D’Zondria Wallace and her children to save them.

“Hell yeah, I saved them, they can go up there and be holy,” he told investigators at one point, according to the complaint.

The complaint identifies the victims by initials only, but family members have publicly released their names.

Prosecutors says police were called to an apartment in St Paul on Saturday afternoon by a 911 caller who said there were three people inside and there’s blood everywhere.

The first officer to arrive could only push the door open about a foot because La’Porsha was lying in front of it.

The officer squeezed inside and saw D’Zondria lying facedown on the couch. The boy was also facedown, but was breathing and making a gurgling noise.

First responder asked Ja’Corbie who shot him, and he replied, “Keith,” who he said was his mother’s boyfriend.

Wallace’s nephew told the police that Jones was his aunt’s ex-boyfriend but that he continued going to her house even after they broke up.

The nephew said he last saw Jones in December when Jones broke in through a kitchen window.

Jones swung D’Zondrai around and accused her of seeing other men, the complaint said.

Jones eventually calmed down but got mad the next day and shot his pistol at Wallace but missed, the nephew told police.

Ramsey County Attorney John Choi said in a statement: “My heart sinks to know that a mother and her two children were taken from us in such a senseless and violent way. We will do everything in our power to bring justice to the victims and our community in this case.”

SWAT officers arrested Jones in St Paul on Sunday. He told investigators that he had been in Minnesota for eight to 12 months and that he was carrying a gun for protection from the people who killed his brother a few months earlier.

The criminal complaint depicts a rambling interview in which Jones denied he killed no one, but also admitted to it, saying he shot Wallace before her children. Jones told the police that he’s not a monster and that he kissed all three of them.

He also said he was just trying to save them from feeling pain that he felt, according to the complaint.

The court has finally dished out a trial and a verdict over the case of two wicked girls who sent assassins to kill their parent as a result of a few flimsy excuses they gave which stemmed from their need for money.

This heinous crime took Nigeria by a storm and hasn’t died down as many people haven’t backed down in showing their disgust and urgent need for justice.

These two girls who are from Enugu (names withheld) reportedly sent assassins to kidnap and murder the two people who brought them into this world – their parent.

They had the intention of inheriting their parent’s property after their evil plan was successfully executed.

Reportedly, the girls were arrested by Enugu State Police after they were reported by their relatives who suspected that they were behind the death of their parent.

After a series of investigations by the police and after all evidences pointed to them, the girls confessed by sending assassins to kill their parent all in a bid to inherit their wealth.

During questioning, one of the girls stated her reason for having to hire assassins to kill her biological parent, stating that her father is a very wealthy man who only spent money on women outside and never made a move to buy them new clothes.

She also went further to say that her father is a very stingy man and that was the main reason for hiring assassins to kill him.

DNA confirmed I’m not the biological father of my ex-wife’s three children –Judge

A judge at the Delta State High Court, Justice Anthony Ezonfade Okorodas, has revealed that the three children he thought he had with his ex-wife, Barr. Celia Juliet Ototo, do not belong to him after all.

The judge, who disclosed this in a statement dated January 28, 2021, said the true situation about the children’s paternity was confirmed by a Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) test conducted on the kids recently.

Okorodas pointed out that he discovered the truth about the children’s paternity 11 years after the separation from his estranged wife.

The judge said: “I have taken the decision to address the press in respect of certain traumatic developments that have arisen between me and my ex-wife, Barr. Celia Juliet Ototo of the Ototo Family of Ovom in Yenagoa Local Government Area of Bayelsa State. It is now nearly 11 years since our separation and divorce.

“This press statement is important in order to prevent damaging speculations, half-truths and outright lies from persons who may want to cash in on the tragedy that has befallen my home.

“Sometime during the Coronavirus lockdown early last year, I received information from an anonymous source that indicated that the last of the three children from my previous marriage was in fact not my biological child. Due to the COVID-19 restrictions at the time, I had to wait until August 2020 to carry out a DNA test. The DNA test result which came out in September 2020 confirmed that I was not the biological father of the child.

“Consequently, I convened a joint meeting between my extended family on the one side and Celia’s paternal and maternal families (i.e., the Ototo Family of Ovom Town and the Agbagidi Family of Yenagoa Town) on the other side, where I confronted her with the paternity fraud allegation. Although she initially strongly insisted that I was the biological father, she has since confessed to having the child with another man during the course of our marriage.

“This repulsive act of my ex-wife prompted me to conduct DNA tests in respect of the two other children. A few days ago, the results came out. Sadly, none of them is my biological child.

“This abomination has caused excruciating mental trauma to me, my present wife, Barr. (Mrs) Ebi Okorodas and all of the innocent children involved. This is particularly so for Ebi, who has had to agree to having DNA tests on the four children of our own marriage. Thankfully, the test results confirm each of them to be my biological child.

“It is important to state that Celia walked away from the marriage when her youngest child (who is now 17 years of age) was just six years old. Since then, all of her children have lived with my wife, Ebi and I, and we have been wholly responsible for their wellbeing and education. Friends who are close to my family would readily attest to the fact that unless specifically informed, no one could tell that the children were not the biological children of my present wife.

“Ebi and I would continue to support the children in any way that we can. Indeed, even after the release of the first DNA test result which proved that I was not the biological father of the last child, we have continued to pay for his education in a private boarding school. The two other children are university undergraduates. The first, a female, will be a graduate later this year, and the second will soon enter his 4th year of study. We pray for them to overcome the trauma and become responsible citizens of our country.

“For Celia and her boyfriend or boyfriends, we leave them to their conscience. Thank you very much.”
