WASHINGTON — A 15-year-old boy in Indiana was sentenced to a century in prison after he was convicted of shooting and killing 26-year-old Dayla Swain and injuring another woman outside a nightclub, according to the Madison County Prosecutor's Office.

Jo'Majze Larry and his 19-year-old co-defendant Rashawn Samuels were both found guilty last month for the shooting that happened on Feb. 2, 2025, in Anderson, Ind., about an hour outside Indianapolis. Convicted on similar charges, the 19-year-old received the longer sentence of 125 years.

If the recent murder in Philadelphia involving a 15-year-old alleged killer is without a twist, then maybe 101 years would be suitable.

Jo’Majze, Rashawn

With those names, I’m surprised they didn’t get probation.

Being so young, he can spend more time in prison.
Make the sentence 200 years.

Yes, allow, the keeping their names , identities and images secret has to go.

The public has a right to know who the dangerous thugs are.

Long before Jo’Majze Larry killed someone, his mother murdered the English language.

If this was in Kentucky they’d be out in 10 years. See https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4390180/posts In Texas they’d die in prison. How does it work in Indiana? (I honestly don’t know.)

He can appeal based on his braids being too tight which cut off the circulation to his brain.

last weekend In Washington state, a 15 year old was shooting at another kid or kids from a rival Group at the Bite of Seattle.

3 people are dead, and he will probably get time served.
