Radicalized Teen Inspired By ISIS Murdered 13-Year-Old Boy | Corey Johnson Full FBI Interrogation

The young Florida man charged with murdering a 13-year-old boy at a sleepover party was found guilty on all charges. Corey Johnson was 17 when he fatally stabbed Jovanni Sierra at a March 12, 2018 sleepover in the city of Palm Beach Gardens.

In addition to first-degree murder, jurors also found him guilty of two counts of attempted first-degree murder for stabbing then-13-year-old Dane Bancroft and the boy’s mother Elaine Simon. Respectively, the victims were stabbed 32 and a dozen times. Johnson had been at guest of Bancroft’s 15-year-old brother at the home in the BallenIsles Country Club gated community.

Palm Beach Gardens police have said that Johnson, who was 17 at the time of the incident, told them he was Muslim and that according to him, this played into the stabbings. He said that Sierra was idolizing celebrities and mentioning them as gods, which went against Islam, and that he believed Bancroft “made fun of” his Muslim faith. His family told cops that dictators such as Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin fascinated Johnson, police said. He recently began learning the Quran.
