The mother of a Chicago woman who was slain earlier this week at the hands of her former boyfriend’s new girlfriend is demanding justice and reform.

The call for justice comes as authorities on Friday announced they would not be pressing charges against Quadajah Johnson (aka Holly Johnson), the woman alleged to have shot her dead and her former boyfriend, who the deceased woman has a 6 year old son with.
McMiller says her daughter who was in school to become a nurse, was loving, supportive, and an amazing mother.
‘Someone has to pay for this,’ said McMiller according to WGN News. ‘It’s not right.’
McMiller said she is now raising her daughter’s six year old son.
Leaders who gathered with the mother on Friday also called for tougher action against violence and enforcement of House Bill 158. It’s a state law that declares violence a public health crisis.
Chicago cops investigate deadly South Loop altercation
The suspect in the shooting was taken into custody, with Area Three detectives investigating the incident according to Eyewitness News.
No charges were filed, either against Johnson or her boyfriend, going by the name of Carlos Losos Way on Facebook since Monday morning’s incident, which occurred outside school grounds moments after Romeca had dropped off her young son she shares with Carlos.
In the interim, Chicago police have called the shooting domestic in nature. Authorities have yet to say what led up to the altercation between the two, which allegedly according to commentators on Facebook was initiated when Carlos Los Way pulled up next to Romeca with the suspect.
It would be later alleged that Holly Johnson who had an open protection order against Romeca, ‘feeling threatened’ as Romeca instigated a confrontation between the two women, who were both involved with the same man who had fathered their young sons.
At some point a physical altercation ensued, with witnesses at the scene alleging Carlos placing the victim in a headlock and Johnson running back to their car and bringing out a gun and fatally shooting Romeca in the face.
Uttered Holly Johnson in viral video of the tragedy in the immediate aftermath, ‘I have a concealed license to carry.’
Later telling police, ‘I feared for my life.’
Added Carlos, with blood dripping down his hand, ‘it was self defense’. But was it?
