[Sugar Cookie]

Five teenagers are now charged with capital murder in the death of a 16-year-old Biloxi girl.

The five juveniles were arrested Monday shortly after the shooting and accused in the death of Madison Harris.

The teenagers are identified as follows: Yakeshia Blackmon, 17; Willow Blackmon, 15; Jasmine Joy-Sade Kelley, 15; Jarvis Jermaine Cook, 17; and Jaquez Devonte Porter, 17.

Police say the five Biloxi teens attempted to use a gun to rob Harris at a home - an altercation took place and Harris was shot, said authorities.

The five juveniles fled in multiple directions, leading police to canvas the neighborhood looking for them. Witness statements and evidence found at the scene of the murder led investigators to locate all five suspects shortly after the shooting and piece together what happened to Harris.

A $1 million bond was set for all of the suspects except Jarvis Cook, who was already out on bond for an aggravated assault he is accused of committing last year in Gulfport. Cook is being held without bond.

Well, we can tell for sure that Jarvis Cook has already chosen his path and is a lost cause, and he and Porter should be tried as adults. The others probably are probably lost causes, too, since they were willing to go along with this plot.

BILOXI, Miss. (WLOX) - The family of the 16-year-old girl who was murdered in her home Monday say their Ring doorbell shows the five suspects entering and leaving the house.

Madison Harris was shot in her grandparent’s Biloxi home on the afternoon of Feb. 24, 2020. Five teens were later charged with capital murder in her death.

“Madison was here with her very good friend Paul, and her dad was in the back yard raking leaves,” Waldeck said. “One girl came in, I saw on the Ring Doorbell about a half-hour before. And then, according to my Ring Doorbell, four of them charged in an unlocked door here at the carport. And within a matter of ten seconds, the shooting and screaming, and then them running out the door being chased by Paul, her friend, and then her dad.”

Madison had lived with in the house with Waldeck, her grandmother, and her dad for the last four years ever since her parents divorced.

“They were in our house a number of different times, I thought as friends, yes,” Waldeck. “They just lived two or three houses down and across the street.”

After the burglary, Madison’s family was worried about another break-in and took special precautions.
“We screwed the window shut so they couldn’t get in there,” Waldeck said. “We put deadbolts on the doors so that they had to be locked with a key to get in or out, but the carport door was unlocked and that’s where they made their way in.”

Biloxi police have said the suspects were attempting to rob Madison but Waldeck said he thinks the teens came in with the plan to murder Madison.

“Premeditation. Definitely. 'Cause the video doorbell lasts 15 seconds or 30 seconds for them to come in, shoot. You hear screaming, then everybody running out the door,”[....]

Due to the pending investigation, police are not releasing the doorbell video.

Now, Madison’s family and friends are struggling with grief as they try to understand why their child was taken from them.

A candlelight vigil will be held for Madison Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Biloxi Lighthouse.

Madison Harris, 16

Four young people from Biloxi will each spend decades behind bars for their roles in the February 2020 death of 16-year-old Madison Harris, who was shot and killed during a robbery attempt inside her Rustwood Drive home.

Jasmine Kelley, Jarvis Cook, Willow Blackmon, and Yakeshia Blackmon were sentenced this week. Three of the four testified at the April capital murder trial of their co-defendant Jaquez Porter, who was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison.

At Porter’s trial, the jury heard that Porter and his friend Jarvis Cook, both 17-years-old at the time, were at the house of 17-year-old Yakeshia and 15-year-old Willow Blackmon on the day of the crime. The Blackmon sisters lived a couple of houses down from the victim, Madison Harris and had an ongoing dispute with Harris.

Prosecutors say they sat at the Blackmon sisters’ house and discussed going to Harris’s house to attack her. Based on a social media post, the group believed Harris had marijuana. As the day went on, the discussions evolved into a conspiracy to rob Harris.

In the early afternoon, the group picked up 15-year-old Jasmine Kelley. Kelley agreed to assist in the robbery and was dropped off near Harris’s house. Since Kelley and Harris were friends, Kelley was invited inside and started sending messages to the group to assist in the robbery. Shortly after Kelley arrived, a male friend of Harris showed up and the three sat in the bedroom.

“As Kelley was sending the group inside information, they were back at the Blackmon house preparing for the robbery. The Blackmon sisters changed into dark clothes and wore bandanas on their faces. About 30 minutes after dropping Kelly off, the group attempted to break into Harris’s house through the bedroom window. Unbeknownst to them, the window had been altered and was only able to be partially opened. Upon realizing that they could not get inside through the window, Porter pulled a gun and held Harris and her friend at gunpoint through the window.

“As Porter held the two at gunpoint, the Blackmon sisters entered the house through a carport door. A Ring doorbell captured them entering. The sisters rushed into Harris’s bedroom and Willow Blackmon began to attack Harris. Porter gave the gun to Yakeshia Blackmon through the partially opened window. He and Jarvis Cook then ran inside of the house to join the group. Their entry was also captured by the Ring doorbell.

“As Yakeshia Blackmon brandished the gun, Harris’s friend struggled with her in an attempt to gain control. During the struggle, the gun discharged one time striking Harris. Harris died as a result,” stated Assistant District Attorney George Huffman, who prosecuted the case with Billy Stage.

At the time of the crime, Jarvis Cook was on bond for an unrelated Gulfport case. For his role in this case, he plead guilty to manslaughter and robbery. He was sentenced to 43 years, 18 suspended, leaving 25 years to serve in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections. Upon his release from custody, he will be on post-release supervision for a period of five years.

Jasmine Kelley previously entered a guilty plea to the charge of manslaughter. On Tuesday, she was sentenced to a term of 20 years to serve in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections.

Willow Blackmon previously entered a guilty plea to the charges of manslaughter and robbery. She was sentenced to a total term of 30 years to serve in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections. She, along with Cook and Kelley testified at the trial of Porter.

Yakeshia Blackmon previously entered a guilty plea to the charges of second-degree murder and robbery. She was sentenced to a total of 40 years, 10 suspended, leaving 30 years to serve, without the possibility of parole, in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections.

So three of them rolled on Porter. I'm glad it didn't help much at sentencing time.
