Now with the latest crime and justice breaking news, Crime Online's John Limley. We begin in Texas as prosecutors there say a man has entered a guilty plea in connection with the 2021 holdup at a Houston restaurant that resulted in the deaths of an off-duty New Orleans police officer and his friend. We turn to Sydney Sumner with Crime Online for more. Harris County, Texas District Attorney Kim Ogg says that Frederick Jackson entered into a plea agreement in which he admitted guilt to two murder charges in exchange for a 60-year jail term. 22-year-old Jackson of San Antonio pleaded guilty to the murders of 43-year-old

Dearon D.J. Recolfi and 41-year-old Detective Everett Briscoe of the New Orleans Police Department. On August 21, 2021, as Briscoe and Recolfi were eating outside on a restaurant patio, police say two hooded men walked up, attempted to rob them, and then shot them. Investigators say that the suspects fled but were later apprehended. Briscoe and Recolfi were members of the Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club and were on the trip with other members when they were shot and killed. Jackson entered a guilty plea in a Houston court just as his trial was set to begin. Jackson will not be eligible for parole until he has served at least 30 years in prison. Two additional defendants, 24-year-old Anthony Rayshard Jenkins and 21-year-old Khalil Nelson, are still awaiting trial in connection with the shooting.

Both Jenkins and Nelson remain behind bars. Now to Colorado, as a second teenager has entered a guilty plea in connection with the death of a 20-year-old driver struck in the head by a rock that shattered her windshield in suburban Denver last year. Once again, Crime Online's Sydney Sumner. As spelled out in a plea agreement with the prosecution, 19-year-old Nicholas Carol Schick admitted to second-degree murder and committing a crime of violence. It was on April 19, 2023, that Carol Schick claims to have given a rock to another teen, Joseph Koenig, who threw it at a vehicle driven by Alexis Bartel, killing her. Karolczyk also pled guilty to attempted first-degree murder for throwing rocks at

nine individuals that night alongside Koenig and Zachary Quack, who pleaded guilty last week and earlier this year. Previously, prosecutors claimed they were unsure of which of the three 19-year-olds hurled the rock that killed Bartel, pointing out that her DNA was the only one on it. Therefore, when Koenig, the lone defendant left facing first-degree murder charges in connection with Bartell's killing, goes on trial in July, the prosecution might have to rely on Carol Schick's testimony. Koenig has pleaded not guilty. With their guilty deals, Quack and Carol Schick both committed to working with the prosecution. In addition to admitting guilt to first-degree assault in connection with Bartell's death, Quack also entered pleas of attempted second-degree assault in relation to three other cars struck by rocks that night but did not result in injuries.

Carol Schick acknowledged that all three of the teens threw rocks at passing vehicles that evening, hitting seven of them in all. Additionally, Carol Schick also stated that he was sitting in the front passenger seat when he passed Koenig a large landscaping rock, which Koenig, who was driving, flung at Bartell's vehicle. Carol Schick is to be sentenced on September 10th. Under his plea deal, Carol Schick could serve between 35 and 72 years behind bars. Thanks, John.
