ST. PAUL, MI –A heroic 11-year-old who was shot multiple times was able to tell officers before he died that his mother’s boyfriend shot him and killed his mother and sister, according to a criminal complaint filed Tuesday.
Tekeith Jones, 26, was charged with three counts of second-degree intentional murder for the shooting deaths of 33-year-old D’Zondria Wallace, 30, her 14-year-old daughter La’Porsha and her 11-year-old son Ja’Corbie at their home in St. Paul on Saturday.

True dat.
That’s for sure. About 7,000 black on black murders every year is no problemo for BLM.
Ja’wohl!
The mother chose unwisely. The Tats should have tipped her off instantly. Very sad that her children bore the effect of her very bad choices.
The poor kids mom was a freaking idiot. Rot in hell
The Dying Declaration IS admissible in court but subject to some rules. Some states freely allow Dying Declarations while some are more stringent about their admissibility.
The kid stated the accused shot him and the wounds led to his death. This covers the DD and makes it admissible.

Since all witnesses are deceased the State/City/County filing the charges now becomes the accuser. The defendant may certainly face his accuser in the form of the State/City/County.
The accused can cross-examine any official presented by the State for testimony at trial. Cross-examination rule also applies to any expert or person testifying at the request of the State.
Sixth Amendment satisfied.

Is there a St. Paul in Michigan? My guess is that this happened in St. Paul, Minnesota (MN).
Mom’s fault, 100%. Don’t let animals around your children.
I hope they don’t hurt his feelings when they arrest him.
I imagine that the little boy may have said something like, “Leave my mom alone you tatted-up loser!” So of course it’s his fault.
Not true.
This story is L’horrific.

So sad! Lifes ruined with poor choices!
They’re called “high commas”. Not kidding.
“Can we take away his right to own a gun? Did Obama help him immigrate to effect Michigan economy and votes? Is he a legal immigrant like Ilhain Omar?”
Here is where we begin to stand on quicksand legally.
I have no answers.
Nothing says”Black Lives Matter”, better than a George Floyd t-shirt, worn by a Black female killed by an insane black man.
Those names are very entertaining and original.
This information is just not. that. hard. to. find.
Evidence: Rule 804. Hearsay Exceptions; Declarant Unavailable
MN Court Rules 804 (b)(2): "Statement under belief of impending death. In a prosecution for homicide or in a civil action or proceeding, a statement made by a declarant while believing that the declarant's death was imminent, concerning the cause or circumstances of what the declarant believed to be impending death."
horrifying.

In any truly civilized country this murderer would have been summarily executed within hours of his apprehension. Case closed!
