Julii Johnson was a beautiful 34-year-old mother just trying to find peace, love, and something real. But what she found instead was betrayal—and ultimately, murder.

In this episode of Melanin Mysteries, we take you to the heart of Detroit to uncover the tragic story of Julii’s death, the suspicious man she fell for, and the tangled web of lies, criminal history, and street politics that surrounded her final days.

What really happened that cold January morning in 2015? And who had the most to gain from her silence?

🎧 Press play, cousins. This one is layered…

Welcome to The Snitch Files, your weekly dose of quick true crime tea—where every Thursday, we expose someone who folded faster than laundry on Sunday. No deep dives, no fluff—just the facts and the snitch.

This week’s file? None other than the rainbow-haired king of cooperation himself—Tekashi 6ix9ine, aka Takis 69.

Facing 47 years behind bars, Tekashi sang like a canary—testifying against his own crew, the Nine Trey Bloods, and even name-dropping rappers who weren’t on trial. From gang ties to viral rants, he went from street-certified to snitch-certified in record time.

Want to see the visual? Check out the mugshot and all the spicy details on our TikTok, Instagram, or Facebook—just search Melanin Mysteries.

And remember… next week, we’ve got another one.
Until then, keep your circle tight—and your paperwork tighter.

When DeeDee Jackson, ex-wife of Tito Jackson and beloved mother of three, was found dead in the pool of her boyfriend Don Bohana’s Ladera Heights home, it rocked the Jackson family—and the world. Don claimed it was a tragic accident. The Jacksons weren’t buying it. And the evidence? Whew, it’s murky like that pool water.

In this episode, Tiffany and Willie dive into the suspicious timeline, the inconsistencies in Don’s story, and the forensic facts that led to his murder conviction. But not so fast—Don maintained his innocence for over two decades, and a twist in 2022 might just make you question everything.

Did Don Bohana kill DeeDee Jackson… or was he a convenient fall guy for a family that knows how to protect their legacy?

Grab your headphones, because this one’s giving scandal, secrets, and swimming pool suspicion.

Kimethia Coleman thought she could keep a good man on a leash—and when Brian Spinks tried to leave, she made sure he could never leave again. In a jealous rage, she turned the love of her life into a crime scene, proving once again that not every “ride or die” chick is worth the ride. We drag Kimethia all the way through this episode for her unhinged meltdown and the tragic loss of a genuinely good man.

When love, loyalty, and a loaded weapon mix—somebody’s not making it out. This week on Melanin Mysteries, we’re digging into the case of Machelle Pearson and Ricardo Hart, a Detroit duo whose relationship was fast, fiery, and fatally flawed. What started as a robbery spiraled into a senseless murder that landed them both behind bars for life. Was it love? Was it survival? Or was Ricardo just another dusty dude who led her straight to destruction?

Shoutout to our listener Shaton for this messy must-hear case!

What happens when pillow talk turns into plot points for a murder mystery? This week on Melanin Mysteries, we’re digging into the twisted case of Alan Moore — a man who ended up dead after getting caught in a deadly web spun by his own people. From a messy family affair to some sketchy Facebook messages, this case is giving Love & Hip Hop meets Law & Order.

And when the cops pulled his DMs? Baby, they weren’t uncovering no murder plots — just a bunch of women tryna “check on him” at 2AM. Spoiler alert: Alan was in everybody’s inbox but couldn’t stay out of trouble.

Grab your snacks, because this one’s got betrayal, coverups, and a whole lot of dumb decisions.
