A Harlem man who became an outspoken advocate for criminal
justice reform and rehabilitation after being freed from prison
last year was charged with murder on Thursday, according to New
York police.
Sheldon Johnson Jr., 48, was also charged with manslaughter and
criminal possession of a weapon after police found a headless
torso and arms in his Bronx apartment while conducting a wellness
check.
âIâm innocent!â Johnson yelled to reporters as he was led out of
a stationhouse, according to the New York Daily News.
The remains were identified as that of Colin Small, 44. Police
said Small was pronounced dead at the scene. His relationship to
Johnson was not immediately clear, but law enforcement sources
told the New York Post that the two may have had âa beefâ dating
back to their time together in Westchester Countyâs notorious
Sing Sing prison.
Police said that neighbors in Johnsonâs building had heard at
least two gunshots coming from inside a sixth-floor apartment
early Tuesday, followed by a man shouting, âPlease donâtâI have a
family.â Another two gunshots followed, they said.
Later on Tuesday morning, the neighbors informed the buildingâs
superintendent later, who called 911. Police who arrived at the
apartment that night were met by Johnson, who they took into
custody soon after. They obtained a search warrant, and
discovered Smallâs torso and foot inside a large blue bin. The
other foot, as well as his arms, legs, and decapitated head, were
found inside the apartmentâs freezer, sources told the Daily
News.
In 1999, Johnson was convicted of attempted murder, robbery and
other charges in a New York court. He was released from an
upstate prison last May after spending 25 years behind bars,
according to records obtained by The New York Times. He was
subsequently hired to work as a counselor for at-risk youth with
the Queens Defenders.
A spokesperson for the Queens Defenders declined to comment to
The Daily Beast.
Johnson also appeared on a February episode of The Joe Rogan
Experience to discuss his advocacy work and how heâd turned his
life around while incarcerated. He claimed that heâd gone into
prison as a high-ranking member of the Bloods, but began to
untangle himself from his gang ties around 2005.
Civil rights attorney Josh Dubin, appearing alongside Johnson on
the podcast, called him âa miracle.â
A representative for Rogan did not immediately return a request
for comment on Thursday night.
Here is the black tranny in a blonde wig. Like that's going to
fool anybody.
