NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The man arrested Friday in the fatal shooting of a 21-year-old who confessed to killing a high school student last year is apparently the slain teen’s father.
Bokio B. Johnson, 46, was arrested in connection with the shooting that killed Hollis Carter & wounded a woman Wednesday, New Orleans police said.
An obituary published in 2021 named Johnson as the father of Caleb Johnson, who was 18 when he was killed.
Defense attorney John Fuller has said Carter was killed & his mother critically wounded on the way to a pretrial hearing in the deaths of Caleb Johnson & his 25-year-old stepsister, Breyiana Brown on March 28, 2021.
Bokio Johnson was booked Friday on charges of second-degree murder, which carries an automatic life sentence & attempted second-degree murder — the same charges that Carter had faced.
Fuller told The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate that he had planned to argue in court that Carter’s confession was false & was made because he was afraid of the actual killer.
Carter, free on $375,000 bond, had been due in court for a status hearing on two counts of second-degree murder & one count of attempted second-degree murder.
