The parents of a homicide victim are disturbed by the details of a 14-year-old Milwaukee boy’s alleged crime spree in the weeks leading up to a deadly crash.
Zy’kevious Joshua-Alexander is charged in adult court for allegedly hitting and killing motorcyclist Marc Jones three months ago while fleeing police in Walker’s Point.
Our Lighthouse team learned the teen is charged with dozens of additional felonies in Children’s Court for a string of armed robberies and other violent crimes.
Lighthouse journalist Ben Jordan shared his findings with the crash victim’s parents. Marsha and Russ Jones say it raises questions about whether the Milwaukee County justice system failed their son.
“My son was having a good time with his friends,” Marsha said. “They were on their way to eat dinner. They were going to eat some dinner.”
Marsha and Russ find peace in a room full of pictures. Each one tells a story about their son Marc, from childhood memories to the night he died.
TMJ4 “I can’t even describe the pain,” Russ said. “It’s something I wouldn’t wish on anybody.”
