Ohio Prosecutor Pushes For Life On Teens Who Killed Columbus Mom In Carjacking!

Ohio prosecutors are pushing for life on three teen suspects who killed Alexa Stakely.

Three teens are being criminally charged for the murder of a Columbus, Ohio woman who died trying to stop her vehicle from being taken with her 6-year old son inside.


Alexa Stakely died trying to stop a teen from stealing her vehicle. Since the other two were involved in the crime, they were criminally charged as accessory to murder.

The 19-year old and two 16-year olds are facing the possibility of 25 to LIFE in the iron college thanks to their criminal conduct. The 28 year was a single mother who had a six-year old son in the backseat when the teen jumped into the vehicle and tried to pull off with Stakely on the hood.

When he accelerated she ended up falling off and suffering blunt force trauma.

The Franklin County Prosecutor's Office wants the two 16-year old named and charged as adults. The 19-year old was named Gerald Dowling was given a $10 million get out card.

He is currently in lockup while the other two are in juvie.

In Ohio, a murder charge by a teenage between 14 to 18 will be determined as a probable cause/competency case. If the two are to be charged as adults, they will be named by the junk food media and held in juvie until conviction. Once convicted, they will serve partial in juvie before transfer to the iron college where they will be facing 25 to LIFE.

Stakely was a teacher at a Canal Winchester school. She was a loving mother, caring about students and had a passion for helping others.

He did not operate the vehicle but his participation in the kidnapping and murder has this man facing LIFE if convicted.

One of the teens had a conscience. He confessed to his parents and the law after they were closing in on them. The teen told the law that he and two others were looking for a vehicle to steal when they saw Stakely's Honda, police said. As the two friends watched, the teen said he got into Stakely's SUV and was about to drive off when she appeared in front of the vehicle.

The 16-year-old said he panicked and began driving off, hitting Stakely. He then abandoned the SUV and rejoined the other two on foot.

Later Wednesday evening, police identified and interviewed a second 16-year-old who they said admitted to being present during the incident.

The two 16-year-olds appeared in juvenile court on Thursday. 

“These are the cases that we focus the most attention on. Not only for the seriousness of the event and the impact on the victims, but what dangers may be presented to the community,” said Franklin County Prosecuting Attorney Pete Chimbidis.

The two teens must have a probable cause hearing before they are bound to adult court. They will be held in the Franklin County Juvenile Detention Facility until their next hearing on Monday. If probable cause is found, the teens will be directly bound over to court.

The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
