KENDRICK JOHNSON: Death of teen at Lowndes High School in Valdosta, GA - 2013 - murder or accidental?

Johnson’s family has long-suspected the teen was killed by classmates and theorized that their parents conspired with school and law enforcement officials to cover up his death. If authentic, the audio may be one of the first significant clues to emerge since the case’s reopening earlier this month by the Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office.

Investigators declined to comment on what's said in the audio but confirmed they’re now tracking down the individual who allegedly sold the tape to Johnson’s mother.

Kendrick Johnson’s parents to refile documentation for default judgment in $1B lawsuit​

The parents of the late Kendrick Johnson, whose body was found in a rolled-up gym mat at Lowndes High School, are once again requesting a default judgment be issued in their $1 billion federal lawsuit filed in September against the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) and Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office.

On October 13th, the Johnsons filed a request in federal court asking for a default judgment in their civil suit filed against the GBI and Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office.

A default judgment is granted in a civil suit when the defendants named have not responded by the 21-day deadline. In this case, that would have been October 11, 2023, for the GBI, and Oct. 12, 2023, for the Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office, according to Johnson’s spokesperson.

However, a federal court judge denied that judgment request because the GBI and LCSO were not properly served with their suit.

Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office sent out a statement, “The Johnson’s request incorrectly claimed that the GBI and LCSO had failed to plead or defend the suit under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. To the date, neither the GBI nor LCSO has been served with the suit.”

The Johnson’s attorney says that since filing the original lawsuit in September — the Johnsons have discovered additional evidence that could lead to two more defendants being named.

When WALB reached out to the GBI to ask if they had been served with a lawsuit from the Johnsons. This was their response:

“This matter is pending litigation and the GBI is represented by counsel. Responsive pleadings were filed on Friday, including a Motion to Dismiss based on insufficient process, insufficient service of process, and lack of personal jurisdiction, and further based on the Eleventh Amendment and the doctrine of sovereign immunity.”

10 yrs this has been debated. People are passionate on one side or the other. I have not kept up with the case. But know a little. Enough to say that his death is very mysteriously suspicious. It's a very creepy case to me. Something isn't right.

It isn't RIGHT I agree and we aren't even the parents. I don't know how they could ever rest with any assurance that it is right. And they can't. Quite clearly.

Of course they did. No surprise is it?

What a nasty and intensely dislikable man.

Kendrick Johnson’s family vows to keep fighting for justice on his 29th birthday​

The parents of Kendrick Johnson are celebrating their son’s 29th birthday, 12 years after his mysterious death.

“It still seems like it was yesterday, but everything is going okay,” says Kenneth Johnson, father of Kendrick Johnson.

After traveling to Washington D.C. in September, the Johnson family says they are doing all they can to bring as much awareness to this case as possible.

“We keep spreading his name and we have a lot going on right now within the courts and bringing awareness to keeping his name going, and we’re going to keep going until the right thing is done,” Johnson said.

The Johnsons say no matter how much time passes, they will continue to seek justice in proving that their son was murdered as they take this case nationwide.

“I will fight them to the day I die about my child, and like I always them, you killed the wrong child but y’all got the right parents because we’re not going anywhere,” said Jackie Johnson, Kendrick’s mother.

“No matter what someone tells you, follow your heart. If you know something is not right, say something.” Kenneth said.
