something doesnt add up.
false arrest. find a new suspect.
February 29, 2008 at 2:03 pm
kip,
I won’t say all. The police had to have a valid reason to arrest him. Damn, we’ll have to wait this one out for more info.
February 29, 2008 at 2:19 pm
That is so sad.. more and more we hear of kids killing their whole family this is so hard to understand how one can have so much hate and anger to do this.
I heard this on the news this morning on my way to work and thought ‘I bet Bonnie will have details’ she rocks.. I love Bonnie too.
Deleston Family, we are praying for you.
February 29, 2008 at 2:26 pm
Hard to believe that a kid who just killed his family would come back to the house 30 minutes later with a second police unit obviously parked in front of the house.
February 29, 2008 at 2:35 pm
Kurt,
Good point, but nothing suprises me anymore.
February 29, 2008 at 3:03 pm
It is hard to believe but maybe he never thought they would find them so fast. I hate to think that a child would kill his mom and siblings but I know it happens. This is very sad.
February 29, 2008 at 3:15 pm
this is scary. this kid goes to the school i just graduated from. it’s very akward that he returned home though. my sister just came home sad because everyone at school was crying.
February 29, 2008 at 4:19 pm
This dude was in my class just a couple days ago. Something tells me he couldnt have done it,he seemed like a regular person at school but to kill your own siblings.. wow
February 29, 2008 at 5:08 pm
Very tragic. I hear that the 4 year old girl is the daughter of the famous rapper Juvenile. And that really dosen’t add up. Hopefully this case will get the attention that it deserves and the cops will not put all the focus on the son.
February 29, 2008 at 6:33 pm
I’ve know anthony since the 6th grade and i never thought he would do something like that. He was in my sixth period and he always seemed so happy on the outside. Rumors are going around Central that someone from our school set him up. Word was that anthony did go home that day at all until the cops were there, they say he was in a neighborhood called Spring Lake. If only someone could prove that it wasn’t him. Killing a parent I can a little bit understand but a 4 year old and an 11 year old, i just know he wouldn’t do that. I’m praying for anthony because no one knows what state of mind he’s in right now, he just lost his whole family, but yet he’s being accused and being gossiped about. This was the talk of the school today, even fights happened because of the situation. I’m sorry to hear about the deaths of the Deleston’s, but I’m praying for anthony’s freedom every chance I get!
February 29, 2008 at 6:34 pm
I believe that he is hiding something about his mother that he may be ashamed to talk about. If everyone knows him as a nice, respectable young man, then there is something deeper on his mind that he may not be ready to talk about.
February 29, 2008 at 6:35 pm
I can’t see him doing it. I was his teacher. It doesn’t make sense. He was one of my favorites.
February 29, 2008 at 6:38 pm
Read the latest news. He led he police to the place where he threw the gun.The only thing we can do now is pray for Anthony. Only he and God knows why it happened!
February 29, 2008 at 7:20 pm
anthony is my cousin and joy deleston is y aunt anthony confessed today that he did do it and told the cops where the gun was i honestly dont know what to say but were all taking it pretty harsh but for everyone who is praying i thank you all so very much
R.I.P. Joy Deleston
she will be missed
February 29, 2008 at 7:44 pm
What would be helpful, is if those who went to school with him, could compile a timeline of when you last saw, him, who his enemies were, who is supposed friends were, etc. No one knows what goes on at somebody’s home unless you live with them. However, looking at his mugshot…he doesn’t have the Charles Manson look in his eyes…but alot of domestic violent killers don’t necessarily have them. But if he didn’t do it, and he was in another community…then speak up and as friends or schoolmates, help the police solve this crime!!!!!! Get together and put the timeline together! Was he into drugs…did he owe drug money to someone? Maybe his Mom found out and threatened to do something, and so he killed her!? Did the 17 year old feel threatened by someone? Is he really in the 10th grade as a 17 year old? Does he have a learning disability? the Mother is a Deputy….she had to have had some enemies…maybe someone who she arrested, testified against, or was about to testify against, and there was retaliation, a hit put on her or something!!!!! The police are p.o’d so they have to hold somebody, but help them solve this crime!
February 29, 2008 at 7:47 pm
Dwight and the Deleston family: you all have my deepest condolences! This has really hit home…Joan and Dwayne have been through so much and all that I can say is “Trust in the Lord!!!Hold fast to His Word,” and not the word of man. Man will destroy , but he will restore and renew! Please keep your faith. It’s hard, especially with all the negativitity going on around you. The truth remains-we really do not know…and only God can judge us.
February 29, 2008 at 7:49 pm
Chillin in New Mexico!-you sound stupid; read the news, ok?Pay Attention!
February 29, 2008 at 11:02 pm
I am saddened by this, just awful, indeed they say teens are running on so much hormones and that they are a little *crazy* while in their teen years, that is why they are so hard to control. I pray for the family. I know a child who at 13 woke up took his adopted father’s gun, walked downstairs and killed his mom as she made eggs. Then he called the police and sit on the porch and and waited for them. He told them and his dad he had no idea why he did it. This was 10 years ago and we still do not know the why. He was high achieving, loving, sports minded and sweet. Just awful, his dad mourns for both of them still.
March 1, 2008 at 2:57 am
I have class with this kid. I would have never guessed. He would always talk somewhat quietly with his friend when the rest of the class was quiet and because I sat close to him, I could overhear what he would talk about. Nothing out of the norm really. He would joke around and talk about girls, pretty standard for a 17 year old male. I never once overheard him speaking of family problems or anything of the sort that could possibly motivate him to murder his family.
We’re living in some pretty crazy times huh?
March 1, 2008 at 9:57 pm
anthony was in my class.
sad…and scarey.
wish he just thought about it.
=D
March 1, 2008 at 10:08 pm
he admitted to the murder shortly atfer they were found Kip…
March 1, 2008 at 11:18 pm
yeah anthony lived in my neighbor hood, just a few houses down actually.
they moved in 6 months before this happened, and he hung out with one of my friends.
the police are trying to find out why he did it now.
nobody knows why, and they can’t just accuse him of it because he was “crazy”.
he was actually a normal kid, from what i’ve seen. but who knows? no one knows his home life. so you can’t just assume things.
anything could be the motive.
March 1, 2008 at 11:19 pm
Can someone tell me where I can get the DOB for the deceased and the suspect? tx
March 2, 2008 at 9:41 am
He confessed to it, almost immediately, from what they are reporting.
It all comes down to parenting. We all must actively parent our children every day. If we are too tired and let what seems to be small poor behaviors slide, then we are not doing our jobs as parents. For example, not correcting your child when they are rude to you or another, when they cut in front of other in line, when they call someone a name, when they sass back, when they whine to get a toy, things of that nature that seem like typical childhood behaviors that one can just dismiss as such, when really, those are the important behaviors to parent immediately. The excuse of it is just kids being kids, or boys being boys is NOT ACCEPTABLE. Parenting isn’t easy, we aren’t supposed to be their friends, we are supposed to be their moral and ethical guides and examples. We are supposed to lead by example. If more parents concentrated on instilling the virtues of responsibility and accountability in their children, our world would be a MUCH better place.
March 2, 2008 at 7:11 pm
i have class with him this year and me and him always joked around in class or whenever we saw each other in the hallway or just passing by. i can honestly say that i think he wouldn’t do anything like this. i mean he probably had a temper, but not enough to snap and go psycho (from what i saw). and on top of that he was a smart person so i don’t think he would go back to his house if he did do it.
March 3, 2008 at 9:34 am
I think the police department should be under investigation because if Anthony went as far as to give u the location of the weapon .Use commen since he would have spilled everything and gave a motive why he did it and how he did it and when he did it .I think its more less another detective trying to pin something on a innocent person do your job and find the real killer .
March 3, 2008 at 10:13 am
I know anthony thats my boo…!!! I talked to him 2 days before the shooting happened! Honestly i dont believe iit was him & maybe its because i dont want to believe it but from the slim (anthony) i knew he would never do something like this so intil i hear some DNA proof i dont believe it!!! What people dont know is it was alot of gang violence that he was some what involved in at the time so i really hope the police gets on the job & firgure out the real/whole story!!!!!! And if that was the case he is so much more smarter than to go back to the house (come on now who does that…..) and if he felt guilty dont you think he would have took his own life???? THINK ABOUT IT
mii feelings 4 u will always remain the same & i am praying 4 you & the family I L0VE U SliiM!!!!
R.I.P. The Deleston Family
March 3, 2008 at 10:53 am
AND IF U THINK ABOUT IT .WHO’S TO SAY HE DIDN’T LEAD THE POLICE TO A WEAPON BUT THAT MIGHT HAVE NOT BEEN THE WEAPON USED TO KILL HIS FAMILY.AND HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO DETERMINE IF IT WAS HIS MOM’S SERVICE WEAPON. ALL U HAVE TO DO IS CHECK THE SERIAL NUMBER HOW LONG DOES THAT TAKE.MAN THE COPS ARE LAZY AND DIRTY U STILL HAVE A KILLER ON THE LOSE .PUT DOWN THAT JELLY DONUT AND GET OFF YOUR CELL AND DO YOUR JOB.
March 3, 2008 at 1:54 pm
Dennis,
Anthony has confessed to the murders. Who are the police supposed to be searching for? Do you know more than you are saying?
March 3, 2008 at 1:58 pm
Paris,
He has confessed. And you know what? Maybe he does NOT feel guilty about it. Not everyone who murders their family feels any guilty. Even if he is your “boo” (whatever that means), that does not mean he did not do this. You obviously have not read much at all on murders. Many killers go back to the scene of the crime while the police are there. Look at the Anderson murders in WA.
You may know him, may have spoken with him just before this, but that does not mean that he did not do it, nor that he would have asked your permission beforehand. Sorry. That is reality.
March 3, 2008 at 2:30 pm
man this is some f up stuff…maybe they should do a pyscological evaluation on him, talk to him to see what was his real motif. see you can’t talk to his friends or anyone real close they would have to talk to him.. A shrink would help a real good one.
March 3, 2008 at 5:25 pm
God Bless Joy Deletson, children and family. I live in NJ and was very touched by this story. A few months ago, there was a similar killing near me, a decorated police officer was shot and killed by his young son and we still don’t know the motive. It was hard for everyone. Sometimes we don’t know what is going on in the minds of others and we may never know. What it boils down to is there were 4 lives ruined, Joy, Micaiah, Jelani, and Anthony who will have to live the rest of his days thinking about the lives he took. God Bless the family and friends. I will keep you in my prayers.
March 4, 2008 at 10:28 am
first off he confessed at the scene, its not like they interigated him for hours till he broke down, yeah its possible to confess to a murder you didnt do, but its not possible to show police where the gun is if you had nothing to do with it. people say he wouldnt have done it, thats what all friends and family say about a tkid who hurts someone, things like this happen everyday and its sad. just because he confessed and told them where the gun was but not why he did it doesnt mean he didnt do it, there are hunders of people in prisons who have confessed and theres proof but the police still dont know why. as for them just checking the serial number, its not that easy. even if they prove it was her service revolver doesnt prover its the murder weapon, they have to do ballistics on it, you know test fire it and compare the bullets out of the body for strations to see if they match. peole can keep coming up with excuses to why he didnt do it but face it, it is possible and you can go around the proof.
March 4, 2008 at 1:50 pm
CUZ. Thats the first word that can come out of my mouth. You and the girls will be truly missed. Prayer is what will get the rest of us through these times. I wish that life changes will led to happiness but it don’t always work that. R.I.P. you will be always remembered and loved.
March 4, 2008 at 6:16 pm
This is all just a terrible nightmare, and I wish it was not true. I love kids to death, and I also loved the fact that the mom was such a hard working mom in a beautiful home, taking care of her three kids. This is all so very terrible and I will continue to pray fir the family and there loss.
March 4, 2008 at 6:26 pm
Anthony, I dont know if you were high or just full of hell, but I don’t know how you could build up the nerves to even do something so terrible. Well guess what. You will be able to sit in jail and pray for the rest of your life. I know god will forgive you, but I beleive you will still be punished for you have sinned. I might be wrong , because our god is a good god.
March 5, 2008 at 4:07 pm
It sad that a child would kill his family and the look that anthony has in that picture make me sick anthony u must be punished son u did the crime now do the time God bless your mother and sister’s and family what ever happen u did’nt have to kill them ok so for that God will forgive u but u will pay every day of your little rotten life
March 6, 2008 at 8:55 am
We must all be concerned, for this young man has committed the most God awful crime. The lives of such young babies have been taken, and why? We just do not know the answers. I feel deep sympathy for the mother. Being a single mother it makes you wonder how could such a tragesty occur. I have a two year old son that I pray to God each day for help to raise him to be a strong man with much dignity and respect. She seemed to be a woman driven to accomplish much in her life, and as well for her children. There isn’t a lot single woman out there willing to do this. I admire her for not being one who relied on the community and others to take care of her and or children. I pray for Anthony also b/c one day he will realize how fortunate he was, and how what ever he was going through could have been handled so much differently. All it takes is a matter of opening up and talking to someone, now it is all too late. If Anthony had of considered his irrational thoughts just moments before, he may have witnessed that there is nothing he and God together can’t handle…..
March 10, 2008 at 10:17 am
Something is not right about this story and is not adding up correctly. I’ve felt this way since the moment I heard it on the news. Someone is protecting another or the Police need to be investigated. Something is not right…
“Believe only half of what you see, and absolutely nothing you hear”
March 10, 2008 at 2:47 pm
What a horible deal, hope they can find out what could cause someone to react so harshly.
March 10, 2008 at 9:12 pm
Im one of Ant’s close friends friends and its honestly hard for me to believe he did it. My prayers go out to his family and R.I.P. Ms. Joy. I know his hearing was today and I missed it because i just found out this afternoon that it happened. They didnt really broadcast when it was going to be. Does anybody know what they sentenced my boy with?
note from blog owner
Justyn,
This only happened not even 2 weeks ago. He has only been arraigned. He has not gone to trial yet, so he could not possibly be sentenced yet. It takes time to go through the criminal justice system. Sometimes too long.
March 11, 2008 at 1:53 pm
I pray for the Family and Friends of the victims. I could not imagine the heartache and pain that is being endured. As for Anthony may God have mercy on your soul.
March 12, 2008 at 9:27 am
Hey all, I have been covering this story for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. I see many comments from friends, classmates and family members of Anthony. If you know Anthony or you are a family member of his, please e-mail me. We need all the help we can get with this story. Nobody can understand it. I’m at asimmons@ajc.com
March 12, 2008 at 4:30 pm
TO ALL COMMENTORS:
Please read my disclaimers on comments. I mean that. DO NOT come here and have bad words or defame the victim. No one, I repeat NO ONE is perfect. Even the victim. But that does not mean you can come here and talk about the victim like that, or talk about what she may or may not have done in her life. If you want to do that, go elsewhere.
Nor is this the place to be talking about the father of her children, even if one is somewhat famous, or about a custody or child support dispute. Or the lawyers or paralegals. Give me a break. Please remember the VICTIMS and their loved ones. Nothing else is important here. I will be removing any comments that violate my comment policy. Period. If you don’t like it, sorry.
March 12, 2008 at 4:52 pm
I read somewhere that the little girl killed is the daughter of rap star “Juvenile”.
Note from blog owner:
Shauncey,
I believe that is correct. It was widely reported in the media.
March 13, 2008 at 9:38 am
To the blog owner. My daughter frequents this blog and I responded without bashing Joy Deleston but you refused to place my statement so I have found another blog to do so. I have no desire to vilify anyone. However, I stated my account of what I witnessed. I appreciate your viewing my statement and I have found another blog which welcomes to post mine. Thank you.
note from blog owner
E. Tisley,
No, you did not openly bash Joy (but you DID have an unkind statement about Joy which does not belong here), but where in your comments were there any words about THIS crime, not about Melissa and her paralegal business. Your comment had absolutely nothing to do with the murder of Joy and her two daughters so it was removed. You say you stated what you witnessed, but did you witness this crime or something else? Please be fair about this. Your comments did not even express sympathy for the loved ones of the victims of this crime. So why on earth should I have allowed your comment to be posted. (If you noticed, I also removed all comments about Melissa as they had nothing to do with this terrible crime–anything about the child support, baby’s father, etc, has no place here. This is about the MURDER of Joy and her 2 daughters. Not anything else).
March 13, 2008 at 2:08 pm
Excuse me, but “Terrell cousin” specifically called Melissa an”idiot” and I do believe that the other young lady “Marniqua” also has not been removed. If your blog specifically disallows slandering, which I did not do and Melissa did, then why are these two comments slandering Melissa still posted? I respect your blog and I apologize if I violated it but these two comments are offensive to me, being that I am very familiar with Melissa and her son. I am not interested in viewing this blog any further because it does not allow my comment as I feel I should to be allowed, but that is your policy. I will check again, however, to monitor if you also apply your same policies to these two people. I disagree if Melissa called this woman a derogatory name, but I understand her emotions. It is not appropriate given the circumstances. Perhaps you over looked “Terrell cousin” and “marniqua” their name calling and if so, do you think their comments also should be deleted? Should theirs be deleted as well since they are violations of your policies also?
note from blog owner
E. Tisley,
I just missed those comments. I have over 100 comments a day and sometimes I miss some that should be removed. Those have been. And (although I will not post all of it) what about your comment that contained ” very disturbed woman”? That was about Joy and that will not be allowed here. She still has people who love her and should not read those comments. Also, once again NONE of your comments are even about the murder. Nor have you even ONCE mentioned any sympathy or compassion about any of the THREE murder victims, you know, Joy and her two young daughters. It makes me feel that you condone this behavior. Why is someone who is not even (to my knowledge) involved in this murder (that being Melissa) so much more important to discuss than the 3 murder victims? On my blog, the murder victims and justice for them is what is important. Please remember that.
March 13, 2008 at 4:23 pm
It is so sad what happened to my aunt and cousins I cry and i pray daily,but Anthony will still need support from the family because Something Happened to him god only knows.Hopefully it will come to light,and just because he confess dosen’t mean he did it maybe he’s afraid or can’t say who did it or who’s involve.
March 13, 2008 at 5:04 pm
Joy’s mother Joan has been like an aunt to me and her brother Dwayne is married to my cousin. It is so ahrd for us to realize the pain that this family feels not unless we ourselves have been through the same pain. The Lord wants us to embrace and love eachother in times of sorrow. Everyone should have not only sympathy but empathy for this family because it surely can happen to you. Joy was a wonderful mother to her children and thats all that needs to be said about her. No one is exempt from their past and only GOD should be the person to judge you for what you’ve done. In her death let this be her shining hour and let her be remembered for what she did the best, be a mother to her children.
March 16, 2008 at 9:26 am
I appreciate the comments, that all are trying to imply. Let the system do its job for assumptions, as to the death of Joy and the children. God knows why and the answer is yet unknown. In time we all will know a little bit more as time goes on. It is quite painful, still hard as you sit and think about this tragedy. Memories, are what we have left of her smile and of her face. Her name is Joy and her work is done and her life will be remembered by her family, real friends, counsins aunts, etc. We have a big family tree and and a family that has power and believe in prayer. Anthony we will always love. He is a child that made a very bad mistake. It was the work of the devil. I will not blame him. As he is going through enough. God will forgive him so we all must do the same. God so love the world that he gave his only begotten son. He Joys only son. I pray for those who feel that they must say ugly hateful comments. This family is in mourning please! have a respect. He who has no sin let him cast the first stone.
March 16, 2008 at 3:01 pm
RIP Joy and her babies. All of them. Evil is so blatant in today’s world and who knows what got into her son. That will be between he and the Lord. It is probably a good thing most of us don’t have access to guns when we are angry or on drugs or whatever it may have been.
Just rememeber death isn’t a time to bring shame to the victims, but to let them rest in peace and do so respectfully. If burial were a time to expose all one’s mistakes we would be buried face down. Besides it seems Ms Joy was a doing a nice job with what God gave her.
March 25, 2008 at 1:43 pm
I don’t see or understand WHY Bonnie needs to defend herself regarding her OWN blog. Whoever doesn’t like the rules, kick rocks!!! (that means “get the hell on”). Get your own damn blog, then you can make your OWN rules.
July 28, 2008 at 5:10 am
This is so messed up.I can’t believe he would ever kill his siblings he must be so stupid!If you are reading this i hope you remain in jail for the rest of your life cause what you did is so wrong.I am happy you got arrested for doing this and i hope you stay in jail till the day you die!
July 28, 2008 at 6:33 am
Elizabeth,
I doubt he will be able to read it as he is in jail, and in jail they do not get to go online.
July 29, 2008 at 3:29 am
I’d known Joy Deleston for 2 years. I met her on the set of a movie we did together. I’ also, had the pleasure of meeting all three of her respectful and well behaved children; Jelani, Maiciah and Anthony. Now, as I look at the program from her memoriam that resides inside the frame of my University of Georgia College Degree or when I look at the picture I took with Miaciah 2 years prior to their murders, I get misty- eyed and am still bafflled, awe-stricken, saddened, disturbed, confused and all the other adjectives that come to mind when entertaining this mystery and even more so when considering the possibility that someone such as Anthony would commit such gruelsome acts of depravity and immorality. It is my prayer that their family and all others who knew them best have the strength to cope with and overcome the pain that follows such a traumatic event. I especially pray for Anthony who has to deal with the tremendous pain of losing such loved ones for the remainder of his life, and if he is the culprit, I pray that his repentance forces him to feel worthy of God’s mercy. As a thirty-three year old, this event made me reflect on my days as a teenager growing up in an inner-city housing project in Atlanta and the troubled and disturbed mindset I had. Given my psyche at the time, I entertain the notion of whether it was in me to commit such heinous acts. The answer is yes… but to my own family?… I don’t know… maybe. I did draw a knife on my grandmother as a 10 year old. Only the subsequent death of my mother who died of H.I.V. complications brought me to a crossroads. Do I continue to go down the path that would eventually lead to my death or someone else’s leaving me with blood on my hands and a life of repentance, or do I take the circumstance that I had survived and accept it as a blessing from GOD so that I might fulfill the destiny SHE had instilled in me. Fortunately, I chose the latter. So here I am today as a writer, director and actor doing my best to do GOD’s will by positively affecting the multitudes with my perspective on this journey we call life. The night of the memoriam, I was compelled to start writing a one man stage show entitled “Senseless”. The goal was to follow Anthony’s journey through the legal system and, if he’s truly guilty of the murders, permeate the mindset that could concoct such an evil notion which would eventually lead to such a “Senseless” crime. However, I couldn’t locate any follow-ups on the case. Therefore, the script was put on the back burner. Nevertheless, my mission remains the same in my focus on the human experience and how we deal with both tragedy and triumph and what we can do in order to prevail in spite of the tragedies. My one man stage show entitled “IronE… The Resurrected” has as much relevance to this paradox, if not more, as my previously mentioned script, “Senseless”. It focuses on my journey from despair to redemption. I read this blog and was compelled to encourage anyone who is a teen or the parent of a teen to come to my show which will open at The 14th Street Playhouse in Atlanta on August 20th-24th. It could be the difference between 2-27-08 and 2-28-08; Deleston family murder.
Peace and blessings,
IronE

September 22, 2008 at 12:21 pm
If this young man truly is guilty, he should be put down like a rabid dog. He is threat to society and far beyond any rehabilitation.
Black America is going downhill so fast Doctor Martin Luther King must be rolling in his grave. Never before have African American people enjoyed so many hard earned freedoms and turned around and thrown them away in acts like gang rape, car jacking, random beatings, etc.

This was so shocking and heartbreaking to me. Can anyone give me any updates? I dont live in Georgia and cant find any news about a MOTIVE?? How is this boy?Why did he do this?? There is nothing online and the folks I know who live in Ga. obviously dont watch the news cause they never know anything….

Tammy,
There is no update. Anthony is in jail awaiting trial. In Georgia, that can take a while. I doubt they will publish a motive until the trial is held as that is part of the defense and it also could be prejudicial to potential jurors.
To others who have been so puzzled about Anthony’s acts, just remember this: there but for the grace of God go all of us. We are all evil and need a savior. Anthony is no mystery nor a monster; he’s just a human who made a life changing and tragic move. God can turn his life around and make him a witness, so pray for him.

All of you saying that he can turn his life around are wrong… he murdered 3 of his family members. He might be forgiven by God, but his life is over. Why do you even hope he can turn his life around? What about the 3 people he murdered ? Do they get to turn their lives around too?
