David was found battered and fatally stabbed in a car after the Facebook Live session ended, following which he was identified as the victim.

Who is Earl Lee Johnson Jr., and what is his background? On Facebook live, a man fatally stabs a 34-year-old woman from Louisiana.
On Twitter (@lizkohTV/Twitter and @senatorhollins/Twitter), it was alleged that Janice David and Johnson had been involved in some drug use together for a few of days.

BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA – A 34-year-old Louisiana lady was stabbed to death by a guy as the crime was being streamed live on social media platform Facebook. In the aftermath of being fatally stabbed, Janice David’s hands were tied to the steering wheel of a car using jumper cables.

Her slaying has been linked to the arrest and indictment of Earl Lee Johnson Jr., 35, of Baton Rouge, on charges of first-degree murder. According to the Baton Rouge Police Department, David was found dead in his car on Monday, April 18, after being battered and fatally stabbed during a Facebook Live session that lasted around 15 minutes.

In a statement to reporters, Sgt. L’Jean McKneely said, “Apparently they were involved in some drug usage together for a number of days, and the end result — as everyone has seen on Facebook Live — is a very nasty, very terrible crime.” Someone posted the harrowing video on Facebook, which then notified the authorities of the incident. The car had been abandoned in the parking area of an office building known as Sherwood Tower, according to responding authorities.

Except for the fact that he was detained on Monday in connection with an unrelated auto theft investigation, little is known about Johnson. When confronted with the evidence, he admitted to the crime. Johnson had already been convicted of armed robbery in 2007, and he was sentenced to 15 years in prison as a result of his conviction. An excerpt from the video shows Johnson sitting in the BMW’s passenger seat, accusing David of “taking my s***” and “jumping out of the car with drugs,” according to Johnson. He continues to shout, and then looks at the camera and says, “and guess what?” before stabbing Davis in the leg with a knife, which is captured on video. Throughout the clip, David can be heard pleading with Johnson to stop before the clip concludes.

“It’s a very horrific circumstance,” Terri Austin, David’s cousin, described the incident. “She didn’t deserve to die in this way… no one does,” Austin said on WAFB’s radio station. “I honestly believed that when they said she died, it was due to a car accident or something along those lines,” says the author. “It never occurred to me that someone would do something like this to her.”

In addition to this terrible homicide, an investigation is also underway into another brutal slaying — that of 51-year-old Orsolya Gall, a mother of two from Forest Hills, whose body was discovered in a blood-soaked duffel bag — which occurred earlier this year. Surveillance footage from the vicinity recorded “an unknown figure” pushing a wheeled duffel bag in the direction of Gaal’s residence, according to the New York Police Department on April 17.

A previous handyman boyfriend of Gaal who had intimate knowledge of her home is being sought by police as part of the latest development in the case, according to the latest update. He even knew where the family’s spare key was stored, but he has not been officially labeled as a suspect or person of interest at this point. The two are said to have been involved in a relationship that did not work out in the long run. It is unclear when the relationship began and when it came to an end.

According to sources, the individual was aware of the whereabouts of a spare key in the residence and would have been able to gain entrance to the property without breaking in. Gaal was stabbed about 60 times before her body was disposed of in a duffel bag after being stabbed nearly 60 times. Her body was found in the basement of her home, while her son, who was 13 at the time, was upstairs. As soon as she was dead, the killer stole her phone and sent a terrifying text message to Gaal’s husband, warning, “Your entire family is next.” Anger appeared to have been the driving force behind the murder.
