Woman Pleads Guilty In Slaying Of Jackson Five Drummer!!

.

A Gary, Ind., woman pleaded guilty Monday to involuntary manslaughter in connection with the stabbing death of her boyfriend, a former drummer with the Jackson Five, according to the Lake County Prosecutor’s office.

Yolanda Davis, 45, faces an agreed term of two years in prison when she is sentenced Sept. 24 by Lake Superior Court Judge Clarence Murray in connection with the 2006 death of Johnny Jackson Jr., a drummer for the smash pop band of the 1960s and 70s, according to a release from the prosecutor’s office.

On March 1, 2006, Davis was dating the 55-year-old Jackson when they began arguing in their residence in the 2600 block of Connecticut Street in Gary, the release said. The argument became physical, with Jackson striking Davis across the nose. Davis then got a steak knife from the kitchen, ran back into the living room and stabbed Jackson in the chest when he lunged at her again, the release said.

Davis, thinking the injury was not severe, left the home, but the wound had caused a tear in Jackson’s heart, which resulted in internal bleeding and death, according to the release.

Jackson was the stage drummer for the Jackson Five from 1967–75, though he was not related to Michael Jackson or his brothers.
