Sentenced: Teen, 13 Told Half-Brother He “Did Something Bad And Not To Call 911 ... Because He Needed Time To Think"

[Sugar Cookie]

— First, Javarick Henderson Sr. lost his mother in a brutal stabbing.

Then, later that day, he would find out whom police were pointing to as the killer: his 13-year-old son, who shares his name.

Henderson, said he was “lost for words” at the situation. He also said he wants people to know his son was a good kid.

“Everybody knows my mama was a good lady, loving lady,” Henderson said. “I’ve got to deal with my son. I want everybody to know he was a good, good child, also. Never got in trouble, no fights.”

“I don’t know what I’m going to do,” he said.

Henderson’s son, Javarick Henderson Jr., is facing a second-degree murder charge in the death of his grandmother, Gloria Davis, a 56-year-old mail carrier. He and his 12-year-old half-brother were staying at Davis’ house overnight Sunday.

Early Monday, St. Petersburg police received a 911 call of a person down. Officers responded and found Davis dead with multiple stab wounds.

Detectives arrested Javarick that afternoon. His half-brother told detectives that he heard screaming and loud noises from the kitchen area, police said. Javarick was found with cuts on his hands and red marks on his body, covered in blood. He told his half-brother that he “did something bad and not to call 911 ... because he needed time to think," a detective wrote in the report.

I met this boy's aunt (maternal) the day before thanksgiving...she walked into my place of employment for an appointment and you could see the brokenness in her eyes...she broke down telling us of this tragedy. The entire family on both sides is heartbroken and I was and still am at a loss for words. It seems no one knows the answer yet as to why? What made him lose it to this extreme? I feel very badly for the entire family and I hope one day they get the answers they need as they continue to cope with this double tragedy. I hope this boy is able to get the help he needs under supervision and whatever sentence he gets should require rehabilitating him even if he is to be behind bars for the rest of his life.

It's triple tragic because it happened right at the start of the holidays. Every years as the holiday approaches the family will be remembering this.
*its been one year since ... Its been two years since...

From article - ” Henderson said. “I’ve got to deal with my son. I want everybody to know he was a good, good child, also. Never got in trouble, no fights.”

Here's a short local news video

I can think of three reasons what lead the boy to the stabbing.

1. The boy wanted to go out and the grandmother refused, that's a stabbing.
2. The boy wanted cash and the grandmother refused, that's a stabbing.

and the third is my DD jaded reason,

3. The boy wanted to have sex with the remarkably attractive 56 year old and the grandmother refused, that's a stabbing.

The mail carrier whose 13-year-old grandson is accused of killing her was stabbed 26 times, according to her autopsy.

Investigative reports describe a gruesome scene around the death of 56-year-old Gloria Davis, who police say was fatally stabbed on Nov. 25 inside her home.

Investigators wrote that there was a blood trail from Davis’ bedroom on the east side of the home to the kitchen on the west side.

A door leading from the kitchen to the garage “was covered in blood,” an officer wrote, “as though the victim was attempting to escape.” A medical examiner determined that she died from “sharp force injuries.”

During an interview, detectives asked Henderson if he hurt his grandmother. The boy paused for a long time, then said, “I don’t think I hurt her," according to the reports. He said something similar to his father, who told police that his son said he didn’t think he killed his grandmother, then said “that he can’t remember doing it."

The reports shed more light on how investigators came to focus on Henderson.

There were no signs of forced entry into the home, a detective wrote. Family members told police that Davis locked her doors and set her alarm system every night. The alarm was functioning when police arrived.

Henderson’s 12-year-old half-brother told investigators that, at the time of the incident, he heard his brother make statements such as “I did something wrong", “Why don’t you just die" and “Don’t call 911 yet, I need time to think.”

When a 13-year-old boy was accused of brutally stabbing his grandmother to death in 2019 in St. Petersburg, police and prosecutors were baffled.

Javarick Henderson had never been in trouble and came across as polite and intelligent, though traumatized, as he struggled to explain what he’d done.

A half-decade later, answers lay buried in voluminous court records. They tell a story of a young man scarred by a chaotic upbringing, who some experts said was temporarily insane when the crime occurred.

On Monday, the case came to an abrupt end as Henderson, now 18, pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of second-degree murder. In a deal with state prosecutors, he agreed to a sentence of 22 years in prison, to be followed by 13 years of probation.

Pinellas-Pasco State Attorney Bruce Bartlett said he felt the sentence was a reasonable resolution. Though he called it a “vicious murder,” the psychological aspect and Henderson’s difficult childhood factored into the state’s decision to resolve the case.

“He’s going to continue being seen by doctors,” Bartlett said. “Until they figure this out, I don’t want this guy on the streets. No way.”

Transcripts of deposition testimony recently made public offer the clearest picture yet of what led up to the killing.

St. Petersburg police were called about 3:40 a.m. Nov. 25, 2019, to a home on 60th Avenue South, in Greater Pinellas Point. Inside, they found Gloria Davis, 56, lying dead near her kitchen. She’d been stabbed 26 times. In a kitchen sink, police found an 8-inch butcher-style knife. A blood trail marked a hallway, a doorway, the kitchen floor.

Henderson, then 13, was there with his 12-year-old brother. The older boy was bleeding from cuts to his palms. Doctors stitched his wounds later that morning in a hospital. While he was being treated, a detective heard him mutter that he’d hurt himself “because he couldn’t help Grandma,” according to court records.


The 12-year-old told police that he and his brother spent most of the weekend with Davis. She made them dinner Sunday night and went to bed about 10 p.m. The boys stayed up late playing video games and watching Netflix. The 12-year-old fell asleep on a couch a little after midnight.
