A Missouri man, Joseph Nelson, has now been charged with three counts of first-degree murder after Kansas City police said he shot dead his ex-girlfriend for hurling a diaper at him and then proceeded to kill her toddler son and current boyfriend.
The victims in the September 8th slaughter have now been identified by police as 17-year-old high school senior Bianca Fletcher, her 1-year-old son JoJo and her 18-year-old boyfriend Shannon Rollins Jr.
According to one witness, Nelson came to him after the killings and confessed to shooting Fletcher after she threw her son’s diaper at him during an argument.
The alleged killer then asked his acquaintance for advice on how to handle the situation.
Another witness told investigators that Nelson said to him: ‘I did something bad. I did something I don’t think I can live with. I killed them. I killed them.’
Asked why he shot Fletcher’s toddler son and her boyfriend, Nelson allegedly replied: ‘witnesses.’
He added that little JoJo was crying and he killed him so the neighbors wouldn’t hear.
