California Teen Admits to Killing 16-Year-Old Girl and Her Parents After He Was Caught in Her Bedroom

A California teen was arrested and charged after confessing to killing a 16-year-old girl and her parents after getting caught in the girl’s bedroom.

According to the Humboldt County district attorney, Mauricio Johnson, 19, pled guilty to the triple murder on Tuesday and was sentenced to 150 years in prison.

On February 9th, Johnson shot and killed Nikki Metcalf, 40, Margarett Moon, 40, and Shelly Autumn May Moon in their home on the Bear River Band of the Rohnerville Rancheria Reservation.

“On the point about California law, youthful offenders all currently receive a parole hearing in their 25th year of incarceration, unless they are serving life without the possibility of parole,” the DA statement said.

“California legislators are seeking to modify the parole eligibility of youthful offenders, so that all would be entitled to a parole hearing regardless of their original sentence. The defendant’s agreed upon sentence would be the maximum sentence he could receive if the law under consideration takes effect.”
