His car was found in Ohio. The police investigated the two occupants of the car, one of whom had suffered a stab wound to the stomach. Three days into the investigation, one of the suspects confessed that she and the co-defendant lured Jimmy into a house and killed him. Further investigation revealed that they lured Jimmy to a house in Michigan on his way to the store, stabbed him 26 times, and almost cut his head off. Police found Jimmy’s body in the house. The 16-year old female, who was the ring leader, received life without parole.
