John Horton died at the age of 22 on March 30th 2009, while in a solitary confinement cell in Los Angeles' Men's Central Jail. There were conflicting autopsy reports, but ultimately John's mother, Helen Jones, was able to learn about the extensive trauma John suffered leading up to his death. LA county originally listed John's death as suicide, but the Jones family believes this was staged to help move attention away from the potential that John was killed by a Los Angeles Sherriff Department gang known as the 3000 Boys. 


CALL TO ACTION

  • Helen Jones would like you to use whatever means possible to amplify…
  • “John Horton who was murdered, beat to death on March 30th 2009 in Men's Central Jail by ten 3000 Boys’ deputy Sheriff gang members that viciously run the 3rd floor of Men's Central County Jail. 12 years later and still no justice for John.”
  • “Jalani Lovett who was also beaten to death and murdered by the 3000 Boys deputy sheriff gang on September 22nd 2021. And the 3000 Boys gang tried to stage Jalani Lovett's death.”
  • “WE MUST STOP THE SHERIFF'S GANGS FROM COMMITING GENOCIDE ON OUR CHILDREN NOW. THE GANGS BEEN KILLING BLACK AND BROWN FOLKS SINCE THE 1970'S FOR GANG INITIATION.” - Helen Jones
  • “The los Angeles Sheriff Department has 18 known vicious deputy gangs that are commiting genocide on black and brown men and women.”
  • Contact your local officials to demand that they ban Qualified Immunity
