Man kills his ex girlfriend, her current boyfriend and his child for crying

 

A 22-year-old Kansas City man faces murder charges after two teens and a
1-year-old boy were found slain inside a south Kansas City home.
The man allegedly killed the baby for crying. Family and friends tell
KCTV5 that the baby was the 1 year old son of the suspect.
Joseph L. Nelson faces three counts of first-degree
murder, three counts of armed criminal action and one count of burglary.
He is being held on a $1 million bond.
The victims were 17-year-old Raytown South High School senior Bianca
Fletcher, her baby JoJo and her 18-year-old boyfriend Shannon Rollins
Jr. JoJo celebrated his first birthday on Aug. 18.




It is reported that Nelson is an ex-boyfriend of Fletcher and was the father of baby JoJo.

"It's sickening. I can't imagine," Rebecca Fletcher said about the brutal deaths of her sister and baby nephew.

It was Bianca Fletcher's 16-year-old brother, Brandon, who found the three victims dead inside a home last Tuesday night.

Rebecca Fletcher said Nelson was possessive towards her sister. "Her
and Joseph had problems together. I just figure he was jealous," she
said.
There were no signs of forced entry at the Fletcher home, no
shell casings found and some of the victims’ personal belongings were
missing, according to court records.

Nelson walked into a police station the next afternoon following the
shooting and reported two firearms, magazine and ammunition stolen from
his vehicle.

 Baker said witnesses stepped forward and told police that Nelson shot Fletcher.

One witness said Nelson arrived at his home on 11:30 p.m. the night of
shooting and saw him standing over a grill with flames coming from it.
Nelson said he had robbed a nearby store and he was burning his clothes,
court records state. However, there were no armed robbery reports in
the area that day, police said.
Nelson also told another witness
that he had gone to Fletcher's home to "chill." He said he had an
argument with her, and she threw a diaper at him. He went on to say he
shot her and said, "I was there and saw it, so other things had to be
done."
According to court records, two other people were with Nelson inside the home at the shooting of the shooting.

Nelson allegedly claimed that one of those two people had shot
Fletcher, but that person would tell police that he wasn't inside the
home. That person who is identified as "Witness #4" said Nelson told
him, "I did something bad. I did something I don't think I can live
with."

When Witness #4 asked why he shot the other two, he allegedly replied,
"Witnesses." He said the baby was crying and he didn't want the
neighbors to hear.

 

A person identified in court documents as "Witness #5" admitted he was
with Nelson and saw the shootings. He claimed that Nelson barged in on
the teen couple.

Nelson allegedly ordered Witness #5 to help him pick up the shell
casings. Witness #4 claimed that Nelson gave him a bag with 14 shell
casings.

 

The murder weapon was quickly sold, according to court documents. It's
unclear whether authorities have been able to track it down.

Another witness told police of how Nelson showered several times and
washed his hands with bleach and sold the gun used in the shootings.

 

Richard Fletcher, the father of Bianca Fletcher and grandfather of
JoJo, thanked police for their quick action to bring justice to all.

"That’s what I can say. This is for all. Not just my family. My
daughter and grandson were precious. We are hurting and angry but we are
grateful justice is being sought for my daughter and grandson.
Regarding Shannon, as a father, I approved of Shannon - he was a very
good influence on my daughter. We will miss him. I praise God that the
police acted so quickly," Richard Fletcher said.

The parents of Shannon Rollins issued the following statement Thursday morning after Nelson was charged:

“Shannon was our heart. Our child was a wonderful young
man, full of life.  He loved everyone.  He tried help those he could. 
Each of us needs to teach our kids how to solve problems without
senseless violence, without resorting to a gun.  Shannon was determined,
he was talented – he wanted to be a dancer.  The loss is unbearable for
us, but we will find strength in God.  And the light of the world is
just a little more dim because Shannon’s light no longer burns. “
