Horace Johnson + Keyonda Lumpkins = Dead Baby
L to R: Horace Johnson, Cortez Johnson, Keyonda Lumpkins
This story was researched and submitted by our Hippiepoet. I did some editing and a little detail - other than that, this is Hippie’s article. Thanks, Hippie!
Columbia, MO - This is another story of a baby dying and geez, how the hell did it happen? The two year old little boy died because two stupid asshats can’t raise their child properly. That’s a new one.
Cortez Johnson, the little tyke, was brought to University Hospital, by his mother, Keyonda Lumpkins and another woman. Horace Johnson, the babydaddy and mama’s penis, was along too.
The baby was unresponsive and was unable to be revived. Lumpkins admitted to the cops that she was aware that baby Cortez was being harmed over the previous few days. The bitch didn’t get him medical attention though…..she let him suffer with whatever was being done to torture this little boy. On June 25, little Cortez died, but there wasn’t a clear cause of death, so the baby was taken for autopsy.
Lumpkins, 26, was arrested on suspicion of 1st degree endangering the welfare of a child on June 26 and was taken to Boone County Jail where her bond was set at $4500.
Horace Johnson, who apparently dropped off his unresponsive son, was so heartbroken by the
incident, he high-tailed it out of town and headed right to East St. Louis, Illinois. ‘Cause you know that’s where Missouri folks go when their kids die. Nice going, Daddy-O!
The story is this….Horace Johnson, aka Mama’s Penis (and the one arrested for a parole violation), apparently has a list of priors as long as my arm. Third degree domestic assault. Nice, ya bastard! Stealing and possession of a little herb, that was back in 2004. A couple years later, uh oh, Horace is in trouble again. This time he was up for resisting arrest, trespassing, receiving stolen property….and the list goes on. Shit fire, great example you be setting for the little guy. Oh yeah, won’t matter much now since the kid is dead.
Let’s see here. Daddy is a fuck up. Daddy drops unresponsive baby off. Daddy goes to Illinois. Something don’t sound right here folks. Fortunately, this bad dude was found just a couple of days later on June 27.
Mama’s arrest record isn’t any better, but in her case almost all her convictions are for theft or stupid shit. Bitch can’t keep a driver’s license or write a good check or keep her hands off other people’s stuff - or, apparently, her kid. Because now there’s murder to add to that list.
On July 24, the medical examiner ruled that Cortez Johnson died of homicide - blunt force trauma to the head. Horace Johnson and Keyonda Lumpkins have been arrested and charged with second degree murder.
Conveniently enough, the law didn’t have to go very far to arrest the couple. Horace Johnson is already a MO Department of Corrections inmate because he violated his parole bu running to Illinois. Keyonda Lumpkin was sitting in the Boone County Jail on a misdemeanor stealing charge. Both Johnson and Lumpkin are being held on $1 million bond.
Great. But it’s the same old scenario: if each one says the other one did it, how do you get a murder conviction against either one? Child endangerment, yes, but how can they convict for the full charge of murder? I hope they find evidence clearly connecting one or both of them to it.
Thanks Hippie, great story!
As long as I live, I will never comprehend how a parent can hurt, or kill their own child. I just dont get it. Poor little guy never had a chance with losers like that for parents. What a sad story to start the day with.
Great job Hippie! On the flip side these worthless scum bags need to die, just plain die…..
I totally share your sentiments, mm_classy, every one of them. Having children should be a privilege, not a right. God. As is said so many times in posts here, and to think these people (term used ever so loosely) are breathing oxygen that should be reserved for worthwhile folks.
Great write up Hippie. Another sad, sad story. Poor little baby, Cortez, another sweetie taken way before his time.
PEPPERMAN, I am so agreement with you PLAIN AND SIMPLE, these two, along with the others that would hurt children and others, NEED TO DIE FAST! THE END
I would assume that it would be like the cases where an accomplice gets charged with murder even though they didn’t “pull the trigger”. Someone died by the action of one and with the complicity of the other. Where this occurs, both are guilty under the law. (where that law exists)
These two have been doing laps in the loser pool for long enough. It’s time they drown.
Thanks Imp, much appreciated.
Poor little Cortez another baby who never had a fucking chance because he was born to parents who cared about themselves, and not him.
RIP little guy.
Hip, welcome to the front page!
I’m glad they finally charged both parents in this case, even though it’s a month later. After looking at the parents’ criminal records, I hope a Boone County jury will put them both away.
Awesome job Hippie, keep up the good work!
How the hell that woman made such a beautiful boy is beyond me. She looks like she took an ugly pill. Her penis isn’t exactly a sight for sore eyes either.
RIP Baby Cortez
Congrats on the article, Hippie!
These two aren’t a Mother and Father, they are just a fertile cock and cunt. I’m not even sure they are fully human given their records as scourages to others in general life. They are surely from the cesspool end of the human gene pool.
I just don’t understand how a parent could hurt there child let alone kill them. I just don’t understand how you could do such a horrible thing. Anyone know why they are getting charged with 2nd degree murder instead of 1st?
Because it would be very difficult to prove intent to kill? I know it is not a very satisfying answer, but I suspect it is the truth……..
I read Hippie’s post over in the forums on this. Great job Hip! Poor little dude. Sorry your Mom and Babydaddy were fuckheads!
This is too close to home for me.
I hope these worthless jackasses are out of our communities forever.
Makes me sick.
I’ve been a lurker here for a few weeks and was just reading the follow up article on little Cortez. I’m SO angry to yet again see witnesses who did not act. How is it they are not also charged?
“According to court documents, two unnamed witnesses told police that on June 16, they saw Cortez standing naked in the bedroom corner, his hands tied behind his back with duct tape. When Cortez tried to turn his head away from the wall, Lumpkin turned the child’s head back at Johnson’s direction, the documents said.
Police said they found blood stains in the couple’s master bedroom as well as a harness fashioned from belts, duct tape and a restraining device made of a knotted rag and a telephone cord.”
What could ever make someone do this to another human being? Let alone their own 2 year old child. Heart breaking to think of that poor little boy.
