audience.

5
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:34,720
Listener discretion is advised.

6
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,520
Welcome back everyone.

7
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,600
This is your host, Ali McLaughlin.

8
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,400
And this is your other host, Eli Sulkowski.

9
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:42,900
And we are back.

10
00:00:42,900 --> 00:00:46,520
This is our official 13th episode.

11
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,720
I may have mislabeled them, but I think they're all in the correct order now.

12
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,800
And we're on the road right now.

13
00:00:52,800 --> 00:01:00,320
We are coming to you from a hotel room in Cincinnati, Ohio, because Eli had some exciting

14
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:01,560
stuff happen this week.

15
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:08,680
Yeah, I have a furniture company and I moved some inventory down to our friend's storefront

16
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,040
store called The Generalist.

17
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,300
And I'm selling some furniture there, which is really exciting.

18
00:01:14,300 --> 00:01:17,540
That's The Generalist in Johnson City, Tennessee.

19
00:01:17,540 --> 00:01:18,540
Really cool store.

20
00:01:18,540 --> 00:01:20,080
If you're in the area, please check it out.

21
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,080
It's dope.

22
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:26,640
There's some really cool cow printed furniture and frames there from Moo Furniture Co.,

23
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:31,480
which is all from me, Eli Sulkowski.

24
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,640
But you might hear a little hotel noise, maybe a little highway noise.

25
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:41,880
So I do apologize, but we have set up a really cool fort here to record this for y'all.

26
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:48,360
So hopefully we're able to keep the distractions and outside noise to a minimum, but just a

27
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,420
forewarning.

28
00:01:50,420 --> 00:01:51,800
So what do you have for us today?

29
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,420
This is cold.

30
00:01:53,420 --> 00:01:59,520
This is a cold case, but this is something that has happened more recently.

31
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:04,240
So I think this still has, I think all our cases still have a really good chance of being

32
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:05,240
solved.

33
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,560
But hopefully like Abby and Libby, this will be resolved really soon.

34
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,880
We recorded that episode and then a week later there was a development in the case.

35
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:18,280
I'm not saying we are responsible for that at all, but maybe we got a little magic, a

36
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:19,280
little mojo.

37
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,320
So I found a case.

38
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:22,720
It is a little bit more recent.

39
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:27,920
It's from 2021, but the leads have run out according to investigators.

40
00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:31,380
So I think this is prime, cold and missing.

41
00:02:31,380 --> 00:02:36,720
So hopefully in recording this, we can generate maybe some more tips and just keep this case

42
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,640
out there, keep the name out there.

43
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:44,820
So this week we are covering Johnkelian Mathis, but he goes by John John.

44
00:02:44,820 --> 00:02:48,240
So that is what I will be calling him throughout this podcast.

45
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:49,960
He is 17 years old.

46
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,800
He was born on February 1st, 2004.

47
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:59,780
And this takes place August 8th of 2021 in Knoxville, Tennessee.

48
00:02:59,780 --> 00:03:02,040
So a little background about John John.

49
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:08,800
John John is 17 years old at this time and he's about to start his senior year and he's

50
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,000
an incredible student.

51
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,880
All of his teachers had great things to say about him.

52
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:19,660
He had a 3.25 GPA, very proud, his family is very proud of this.

53
00:03:19,660 --> 00:03:27,000
He was projected to be a graduate scholar at his school and he had been named Mr. Freshman

54
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,520
and Mr. Sophomore, which is really cute.

55
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,400
And it's from everything I could gather and understand about this, it's like something

56
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,000
you had to run for and kind of be elected by your peers.

57
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:42,800
So two years in a row, he was the Mr. of the school, Mr. Freshman, Mr. Sophomore.

58
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:48,380
So he was about to start his senior year at Austin East High School in Knoxville, Tennessee.

59
00:03:48,380 --> 00:03:51,920
At his high school, he was part of a West African drummer group.

60
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:57,920
He was running back of the football team and all of his friends, his family, teachers,

61
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,120
they all talked about the smile that he had.

62
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,920
He always had a smile on his face and an infectious laugh.

63
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:10,260
He loved to listen to music, skateboard, and he loved doing backflips.

64
00:04:10,260 --> 00:04:13,560
This was a very specific thing that he would do.

65
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:19,640
And he had started his own t-shirt company in high school, which was called YBC.

66
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,000
So Saturday, August 7th, 2021.

67
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:29,160
This day is the 35th annual Lonsdale Community Homecoming.

68
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,720
And so this is a neighborhood homecoming.

69
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:35,820
When I first read this, I thought it was like a school dance kind of homecoming, but it's

70
00:04:35,820 --> 00:04:38,400
just like a big block party.

71
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,880
And hundreds of people attend this event.

72
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,760
There's a lot that goes on during this.

73
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,520
So there's a parade.

74
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:49,560
It's called the Lonsdale Homecoming Gloria Garner Memorial Parade.

75
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:55,040
And there's bands and dances and it looks like a really big event.

76
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,400
And then during the day, there are kid activities.

77
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,800
And in the evening, they have live music.

78
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:06,280
So it's just like a full day, like block celebration that happens, which is pretty cool.

79
00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:09,400
So this is happening all day, August 7th.

80
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,120
And John John was working during the day.

81
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,360
So when he gets off of work, he heads over, because he lives in this neighborhood.

82
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:20,080
So he heads over to the homecoming celebration to hang out.

83
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,880
So as the celebration was winding down in the neighborhood, people were still there.

84
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,080
They were still hanging out.

85
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:31,480
And a lot of people ended up gathering in parking lot D of the Lonsdale Homes, which

86
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,160
is right there where the celebration was taking place.

87
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:40,400
And if you're familiar with Knoxville, this would be the corner of Minnesota Ave and Pascal

88
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:41,400
Drive.

89
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,480
So the crowd continues to stay there well into the morning hour.

90
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:50,180
So this is Sunday morning, now of August 8th.

91
00:05:50,180 --> 00:05:56,800
And a fight breaks out in the crowd and shots are fired and three people are hit.

92
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:04,400
There's Tricia Fisher, who's 29 years old, and Anthony Taylor, who's 25 years old.

93
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:10,240
And then John John Mathis, who we are talking about, who's 17.

94
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:15,200
So all of them are rushed to the University of Tennessee Medical Center.

95
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:20,200
And this is ultimately where John John will pass away from his injuries, from his gunshot

96
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:21,360
wound.

97
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,520
But Tricia and Anthony, they both recover from the shooting.

98
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,920
So John John's the only one who passes away.

99
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:35,880
The Knoxville Police Chief, Eve Thomas, she said, quote, investigators have determined

100
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:40,140
that a crowd numbering in the hundreds were gathered when the shooting occurred and a

101
00:06:40,140 --> 00:06:46,440
significant number of those individuals likely directly witnessed the shooting, end quote.

102
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:53,560
And then as the news of John John's death spread, one of his teachers was quoted as

103
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,360
saying he was in my drum classes.

104
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:01,160
He played football and he was just great at everything he put his hands on.

105
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,120
He was the one student who always asked questions.

106
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,360
He wanted to be great at everything.

107
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,280
When you were around John John, you knew he was one of those kids that was going to make

108
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,500
it, somewhere, someday.

109
00:07:12,500 --> 00:07:14,560
He affected every teacher he had.

110
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,220
I know he did.

111
00:07:16,220 --> 00:07:21,720
He was just a charismatic, great kid with an amazing personality, end quote.

112
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:28,760
So the next day, Monday, August 9th, 2021, this would have been John John's first day

113
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,800
of senior year.

114
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:36,440
And again, to quote the same teacher, to start school out like this after working all summer

115
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:41,460
with the youth to try to prevent this violence is like a blow to my stomach.

116
00:07:41,460 --> 00:07:42,980
The first day of school was hard.

117
00:07:42,980 --> 00:07:48,640
I've been teaching 17 years and I think yesterday was probably the hardest day I ever had, end

118
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:49,640
quote.

119
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:55,040
And on Monday, it's reported that police also begin canvassing the neighborhood for evidence

120
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,400
and talking with witnesses.

121
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,920
I'm not sure if this was happening on Sunday as well because the shooting takes place at

122
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:02,920
around 1 a.m.

123
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:07,680
So there's a full Sunday before we get into Monday.

124
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:13,360
But it's reported for the first time that the police began investigating his death.

125
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:19,380
And then the next day, that Tuesday, again, this is the police chief, Eve Thomas.

126
00:08:19,380 --> 00:08:24,840
She says, quote, thus far we have received five tips through Crimestoppers and investigators

127
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,800
are looking into that information that has been received.

128
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:33,040
But we still need more and are urging those who are present to come forward and submit

129
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:34,940
a tip anonymously.

130
00:08:34,940 --> 00:08:40,960
It is imperative as we seek justice for this senseless act of violence, end quote.

131
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:48,040
So a week comes and goes, Thursday, August 19th, this is the day of John John's funeral

132
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:54,960
or as his family and friends call it, his home going celebration.

133
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,760
And it's held at the Greater Warner Tabernacle Church.

134
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:03,960
And organizers of his home going celebration actually said that they needed a bigger church

135
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:08,280
because there were so many people that wanted to say goodbye and show respect and love to

136
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:09,280
the family.

137
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:14,480
It was standing room only in the church and people were waiting to get in.

138
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:19,800
Lots of people spoke at his home going celebration.

139
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:25,120
His coach spoke and said, quote, God gave John John good genetics and God gave John

140
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,400
John talent, but God anointed his smile.

141
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:33,560
So again, just talking about this infectious smile that he always had on.

142
00:09:33,560 --> 00:09:38,520
And John John's girlfriend also spoke and she said, quote, you turned my darkness into

143
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:42,000
light and somehow made everything feel all right.

144
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,120
You were there when I had nobody, end quote.

145
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:51,960
And he was also honored with a dance performance, a drum routine, and his teammates dedicated

146
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,880
his number to his family as well.

147
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,720
And he was number 28.

148
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,660
So that number is dedicated to John John.

149
00:10:00,660 --> 00:10:06,720
On the day of his home going celebration, again, the chief of police says that part

150
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:12,680
of the blame is on state lawmakers for the increase in guns on the street.

151
00:10:12,680 --> 00:10:20,760
And this is because in 2021, lawmakers made it so anyone 21 and older who can legally

152
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:25,960
own a gun is allowed to carry it concealed or open without a permit.

153
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:33,040
I didn't realize that Tennessee had such loose carrying laws.

154
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,760
Texas I know.

155
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:39,000
Like I expect that, but for whatever reason, just like Tennessee, I didn't think it was

156
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:45,520
that like loose with it, but it from my standards, you know.

157
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:52,960
So then that fall, this is August 17th, the football team has their senior night and they,

158
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,560
of course, honor John John as well.

159
00:10:55,560 --> 00:10:59,040
His coach says, quote, his locker is still there.

160
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,560
We've got his jersey, his helmet, his shoulder pads, everything.

161
00:11:02,560 --> 00:11:03,820
We're a family.

162
00:11:03,820 --> 00:11:04,820
We grow together.

163
00:11:04,820 --> 00:11:05,920
We hurt together.

164
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,880
I think recognizing John John helps the grieving process.

165
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:10,880
End quote.

166
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:16,640
In November, two teens were charged in a separate case of another teen who was shot and killed.

167
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:23,600
His name is Stanley Freeman Jr. and Stanley Freeman, he is also a student at the same

168
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,520
high school that John John was at.

169
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:32,880
And these two teenagers are charged in his murder, but they are also charged with an

170
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:40,040
attempted murder because on January 19th at the corner of Magnolia Avenue and Cherry Street

171
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:45,360
near a gas station, the two teens fired a gun multiple times.

172
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:51,520
At that time, no victims were struck by gunfire, but it did hit a nearby car that had John

173
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,520
John sitting in it with an 18 year old girl.

174
00:11:54,520 --> 00:12:00,880
And it's unclear if John John was the target of the shooting or if it was just a random

175
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:01,880
shooting.

176
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:08,440
But John John is not hurt in this January 19th shooting, but ultimately he is shot and

177
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,000
killed just eight months later.

178
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,240
But these two teens, they're charged with first degree murder for Stanley Freeman Jr.

179
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,780
and then attempted murder for John John Mathis.

180
00:12:18,780 --> 00:12:24,520
And then just a few months ago, John John's class graduated and John John's family was

181
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,260
able to walk and receive his diploma for him.

182
00:12:27,260 --> 00:12:33,600
And his mom, Koke Boatwright, she says, quote, but now that I have my strength, I'm not looking

183
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,680
at it like John is gone.

184
00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:41,200
Instead, I'm going to make them see my baby more than they've ever seen him.

185
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:47,320
It's on me to make sure everyone understands and feels this and keeps remembering his life.

186
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,680
I always played the tough role.

187
00:12:49,680 --> 00:12:52,980
This city hasn't seen me cry since I lost my baby.

188
00:12:52,980 --> 00:12:57,520
It's going to be hard, but I'm going to be right there to get his diploma.

189
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:58,960
He earned that.

190
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,700
He's my first child and he always had my back, end quote.

191
00:13:02,700 --> 00:13:11,440
And John John is one of three seniors who are killed in 2021 from this high school.

192
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:17,360
Stanley Freeman Jr., who I just mentioned, but ultimately those two teens are charged

193
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,740
in his case and they're still awaiting trial at this time.

194
00:13:21,740 --> 00:13:28,240
Another boy in their high school, Anthony Thompson Jr., he was shot and killed by police

195
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,400
in front of his best friend at school.

196
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:37,100
And to quote a newspaper, police video of the encounter shows Anthony asking police

197
00:13:37,100 --> 00:13:41,920
repeatedly to wait as they approached him in a bathroom before one officer fired at

198
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:48,200
him after a gun in the pocket of his hoodie fell out and discharged after it hit the floor.

199
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:54,720
He was carrying a gun because he was fearful for his safety, end quote.

200
00:13:54,720 --> 00:14:00,240
Ultimately the courts will rule that the shooting is justified.

201
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:07,200
So John Johns is the only unsolved case from the senior class.

202
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:13,320
He's one of three in his senior class who was murdered, but ultimately he is one of

203
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:22,440
six because in 2021, six Austin East high schoolers were shot and killed.

204
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:30,120
And this is a high school of 642 students and they lost six kids in 2021 to gun violence.

205
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:36,720
And of those six cases, three of those cases are still unsolved and that's Janaria Mohammed,

206
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:42,240
Jamerion Gillette, and then John John Mathis, who we are covering today.

207
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:50,800
And then in Knoxville, Tennessee, teens made up one fifth of all gun violence in the city.

208
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:57,520
I kept thinking about the kids there and like the trauma of COVID and then like you're losing

209
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:03,120
classmates at such a rapid pace to like such violence.

210
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:08,880
I really feel bad for all of these students in this school because they all have to have

211
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,080
been affected by this.

212
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:18,120
In response to the gun violence, Knoxville Police Department said, quote, we recognize

213
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:23,920
that people want answers and the victims deserve justice and we want those things as well.

214
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:28,600
These types of cases take thoroughness and persistence.

215
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:33,840
Investigators are working carefully and diligently to get answers and justice that we all want,

216
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,080
end quote.

217
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:41,720
But to date, no suspects have ever been named or are in custody.

218
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:46,840
There have been several tips received, but investigators have said this several times

219
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,720
that they need more tips.

220
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:58,720
And if you have any, they ask you to call 865-215-7165 and you can remain anonymous.

221
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:06,280
You can also go to East TN Valley Crime Stoppers dot org.

222
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:10,200
That's East TN Valley Crime Stoppers dot org.

223
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:19,800
Or there's also an app for Knoxville Police called P3 where you can also submit tips.

224
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:28,760
The sources for today's podcast is East Tennessee Valley Crime Stoppers, WATE, WBIR, Knoxville

225
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:35,480
Focus, and the Knoxville New Centennial who, the Knoxville New Centennial, I have to say,

226
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:40,540
they have covered this case the most and that is where I got most of my information from

227
00:16:40,540 --> 00:16:42,600
on this case.

228
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,880
So they have done a really great job reporting it.

229
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,640
Just a shout out to them.

230
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:53,080
And also, speaking of shout out, we want to give a shout out to our listeners who bought

Yeah, I talked to Mara a little bit, but I texted her.

239
00:17:14,120 --> 00:17:15,120
Mara?

240
00:17:15,120 --> 00:17:16,120
Yeah.

Oh, cute.

Yeah, Mara Kidwell, incredible actress, or actor, mother, actor coach here in Chicago.

00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,080
She's been on a bunch of stuff.
