Thank god. I hope this man rots in jail for killing such a loving, caring, friendly, person ... Not only a person but a son, a friend, and you took him from his loved one. Love you zstringfellow #53 you will be missed

Make johnny pay... justice needs to be served....Zavier had a bright future and Johnny stole it away from him...he wasn't a pipe head nor a drug addict...like the comment above...anyone that supports Johnny is just as guilty...robbing or not...no life is worth taking....JOHNNY IS GOING TO PAY.....R.i.P Zavier...You will never be forgotten

I hope the man who did this will pay. If he does not pay on this Earth than he will pay when he dies. Zavier, We all miss you and wish you were here with us now. Please watch over all of your family and friends. May we meet you again at heavens gates! RIP! <3 <3

Thief you don't anything about him if you talking that mess promise you one way or another johnny will pay

Rip zav #53 gone but NEVER forgotten

Johnny is a lil guy 5'4 140 pounds. What would u do if u have a big black guy on attack mode trying to rob you?

Johnny is weak

Is it guilty to proven innocent?? or the other way around?

Gay rendezvous gone bad...

They just mad their boy going down for murder!

Carol sounds like a bitter old lady lol

U just mad cz ur boy who attempted to rob another person with the help of two other thieves just happened to mess with the wrong guy.

How about u meet up with me thief

Lets see how ur fam and friends feel when ur gasping for air and life is over for u and u can't come back, Johnny is a batch and so are u he's a female cat for not simply getting out the car and walking away with whatever he came with and with military intelligence I'm sure the last result in this case was not to stab

Just like the good ol days Johnson...u steal u lose an arm, u rape u lose a penis, u rob and attempt to swarm a lil guy with three heads and ur life is in jeopardy what would u do mr military intelligence?

Who were the other two guys involved?

Hello? Can anyone tell me?

Ask thief he thinks he knows everything about it ....

there won't three until lil punk coward stabbed someone like johnson said you think you big stuff why don't meet up oh yes you can't even say your real name nor the idiot commenter and johnny couldn't use his hands why? Was he special needs?

All the malkas on here for johnny all just talk mess with fake names what you scared of huh deport much or something....you got big mouth back it up

Like I said one way or another johnny will pay and know how feels to lose someone

RIP ZAVIER GONE BUT NEVER EVER FORGOTTEN YOU KNOW THERE WILL ALWAYS AND FOREVER BE HATERS.

Grow up

How do you all know Johnny and Zavier if they didn't know each other?

I don't think the black kid was gay so I'd say the Johnny was called upon to deliver Mr. Stringfellow's next high. Probably marijuana. If it was, Mr Stringfellow may still be alive if marihuana was legal instead of having to go through the bs of a drug dealer. I hate alcohol. have a safe and wonderful New Year. Mr Stringfellow if the Christian prophecy is true and you accepted the Lord Jesus Christ, well then my fellow American you are in a wonderful place. If the prophecy isn't true well then I really have no idea what happens.

What Was he doing there he had to done something wrong People just don't go around stabbing others

Johnny staged the accident? Huh?

Hi Carol,
I have been asking myself the same thing. It's very suspicious how so many people know different aspects about the story. Instead of venting back and forth with one another they should be reporting this stuff to the police. Everyone wants to be known for knowing what happened but nobody wants to put forth the effort to try and help establish what really happened. They say they are friends of Zavier and friends of Johnny. Stop talking and do something. That's the problem with these kids. They think they are grown but keep making STUPID decisions....smh...Alls I can say is RIP Zavier and to Johnny...no comment!!!!

I know Johnny and he would never do anything like this unprovoked. Your boy probably tried to rob him, and he got what was coming to him. Johnny is like 5'5" and wouldn't have stood a chance against this guy if he tried to attack him. Johnny didn't stage an accident either. The idiot tried to drive after he got stabbed and crashed his car. Maybe if Zavier didn't try to pull a fast one, he would still be alive. Johnny was defending himself. Screw all of you guys. Your boy is a piece of scum and deserved what he got. Free Johnny!

I am not on anyone side...just wondering what the truth really is. True, Johnny had to defend himself but name calling and speaking ill-will about a person does not change the circumstances. The same way Zavier should not have tried to rob Johnny is the same way Johnny should not have been selling whatever he was selling. They met up for something so that proves they were both up to no good. In the end nobody wins cause Zavier is dead and your boy is facing charges of murder. The seed you sow you will reap...Galatians 6:7

everyone who is defending zavier is ignorant and childish. stop being mad because your star athlete is gone. yes, it sucks. but stop being so ignorant, you all know he was trying to rob johnny. ive even seen comments on here saying there was 2 other guys with zavier. the way i see it, theyre just as guilty for your boys death just as much as johnny.

Listen here Blatant_Truth cause I am going to say this one more time....I am not on anyone side because this whole situation is a mess. Although Johnny was being attacked does not make it right that he did what he did. Honestly, truth be told if people were living by God's law Zavier would still be here and Johnny would not be charged with murder. Everyone wants to point the finger and say whose wrong and whose right. Nobody wins!! The bottom line is we all are accountable for the decisions we make. So Zavier has been held accountable for his and now Johnny is being held accountable for his. People want to take up for Johnny but if he was such a saint and his family had so much money then why was he selling drugs? Why did he agree to meet with Zavier...oh, I forgot, he is the seller so he gets a pass. Zavier had a promising future and because of his decision and the consequence that followed his no longer here. Johnny was a so-called good boy and had to have been prevoked in order to do what he did. Everybody wants to claim that they knew these two young men but did they really? Obviously not, because who knew that Zavier would take from somebody and who knew that Johnny would stab somebody? All of you get a life and possibly report what you know as fact instead of fiction which is of course your opinion. Only God can judge them now...who are we to try and play God's role?

Erica and Carol...why don't we block Blatant_Truth since he/she clearly can't adhere to the rules of no profanity. Whoever that person is they are just starting mess with people on here that are clearly going through it and trying to wrap their minds around what happened on that night in question. I pray for people like that because what they need to realize is that while they are pointing the finger at others there are still three more pointing back at them.SMH...Get a life Blatant_Truth because your blantant truth is false and furthermore, your actions/comments speak for themselves and clearly show what type of person Johnny was for hanging around someone so negative like yourself....HATER-FACE!!!

duzzy, why are you even here? you didnt know any of them. and although i dont like what you said, im mature enough to admit that you have a good point. but look at it this way, say you go on craigslist and try to sell and ipad for instance, youre just trying to make a little extra cash during the holiday season by selling something you dont nedd/use anymore, then 3 guys come at you in a threatening manor, what would you do? please reply, i'd love to know what you would do. and non of the reports say it was drug related, although thats a big possibility, it hasnt been proven.

And i completely agree with you about the whole live by gods law, but look at the type of things zaviers friends are saying. doesnt that say a little something about him? "johnny will pay one way or the other" "i hope johnny rots". theyre saying he deserves the maximum no matter what the situation was. F that, if the man was just trying to defend himself, he should get the minimum.

Blatant_Truth...I want to apologize if I sounded as if I took offense but for your information I knew Zavier very well...he was like family but you do not see me trying to take up for him because wrong is wrong. But at the same time we are accountable for our actions and consequences follow bad decisions...that's how it is. Now if Johnny was selling something and posted on Craigslist I would be able to understand where you're coming from but since you and I clearly know that this is not the case....then let's keep it real. We can go back and forth all day long trying to piece together this mystery or swap insults about who was the better person in reference to Johnny and Zavier but it would be useless because one is gone and the other is facing serious charges. Let us not forget that we have another generation coming up as we speak and it is time stand stand for something or we will all fall for anything. As I mentioned before I knew Zavier, his mom, etc. I used to feed him and he has even visited my household on numerous occasions but I am a firm believer, you live by the sword you die by the sword. Johnny needs to thank the good Lord that he is still alive and do something else besides trying to be a new age Tony Montana....drugs separate families, drugs are no good, drugs kill....I wish folks would get a clue and realize that there are consequences for your actions.
