Jaylen Johnson charged with manslaughter after shooting death of his mother at their home’s back door in St Louis suburb

A 25-year-old Missouri man says he mistook his mother for an intruder before shooting her to death at their home’s back door.

Prosecutors have charged Jaylen Johnson with manslaughter and armed criminal action in connection with the shooting death on Thursday of his mother, Monica McNichols-Johnson.

McNichols-Johnson’s shooting death came less than a year after another shooting in Missouri saw Ralph Yarl, then 16, get shot on 13 April by 84-year-old Andrew Lester after ringing the wrong doorbell while picking up his siblings.

    Can you explain the diversity part?

    I lived in New York and Miami.

    Then I went to the Pacific Northwest and was drown in a sea of Caucasians who were excited to celebrate how diverse it is because their gov officials was a gay Asian woman, and a middle Eastern guy, and yet in a room of 100 people, 90 of them look the same. No where near what I expect diversity to be like.
