Bio & Incident
Details

Badge # 4699
Cause: Gunfire
Incident Date: 12/9/1981
Weapon: Handgun; .38 caliber
Suspect: Sentenced to life
Police Officer Daniel
J. Faulkner was shot and killed while making a traffic stop.
Officer Faulkner stopped the driver of a light blue Volkswagen at the corner of
Thirteenth and Locust Streets for driving the wrong way down a one-way street.
Officer Faulkner had the driver exit the vehicle. As the officer was speaking
with the driver, the driver struck him in the face. Officer Faulkner struck the
driver back and attempted to take him into custody. As the officer was
attempting to subdue the driver, the driver's brother came running to the scene
from a parking lot across the street. While Officer Faulkner's back was turned,
the brother opened fire, shooting him in the back four times. Officer Faulkner
fell to the ground but was able to return fire, hitting the suspect. The
wounded suspect was able to fire again as he stood over the fallen officer,
shooting him in the face.
The suspect attempted to flee but fell to the ground several feet from where he
had just shot the officer. When back-up officers arrived, they found Officer
Faulkner mortally wounded and the suspect, murder weapon in hand, laying
several feet away.
The suspect, who was a member of the racist group Black Panthers, was charged
with murder. He was convicted of murder and sentenced to death in two separate
trials. In December 2001, a federal judge overturned the death sentence and
ordered a new sentencing hearing. In December 2011, the district attorney
dropped a request for a new sentencing hearing and Officer Faulkner's murderer
and was subsequently sentenced to life in prison. In March 2012 the
Pennsylvania Supreme Court rejected his appeal to overturn the life sentence.
Officer Faulkner had served with the Philadelphia Police Department for 5
years. He is survived by his wife and is buried in Glenwood Memorial Gardens,
Broomall, Delaware County, Pennsylvania.
The Black Panthers is
a racist, radical group that professed the murders of law enforcement officers.
Members and former members of the group were responsible for the murders of at
least 15 law enforcement officers and the wounding of dozens more across the
nation.

Patrol stickers, red and blue handprints, and the words 'Stop Killing Our Kids'
written in marker appeared outside the window of the apartment Moultry and his
family were staying at, as well as, star-shaped balloons and a dinosaur stuffed

“Countries that give up this penalty award an unimaginable advantage to
the criminal over his victim, the advantage of life over death.” [Mr. Kaczynski said in July 2006. His coalition partner, the far-right
League of Polish Families, wants to change the country’s penal code so that
pedophiles convicted of murder will face execution.] http://victimsfamiliesforthedeathpenalty.blogspot.com/2016/04/do-not-give-killers-advantage-over.html
It has been 10 years since Illinois abolished the death penalty
on March 9, 2011. It was a sad day for murder victims and their families and a
victory for murderers. As we have consistently warned: Once Capital Punishment
is abolished, the ACLU (and any Pro Murderer rights Groups) will start
abolishing prison sentences next. They have already begun giving paroles to those inmates who commit
murders before 1978.
Although the Rep. La Shawn Ford is a death penalty opponent, he conceded that those who murder children
should be executed. He is most probably similar to Niklas Frank, Alan
Dershowitz and W.
James Antle III. They all oppose capital punishment but concede that the
worst of the worst should be put to death.
We do not need
psychologists to tell us the simple truth that if you reward bad behaviour you
will get more of it. We should not be surprised that we are now engulfed in
crime. The offenders have taken their cue from us.
Parents of Murdered Children Demand
Steeper Penalties for Killing Kids
Amanda Vinicky | November 16, 2021 8:39 pm
Lawmakers have attempted to reinstate the death penalty since Illinois
abolished it in 2011, to no avail. The efforts were put forth by conservative
Republicans whose minority status in the General Assembly stunts their agenda.
Since then Illinois has pointedly moved in the opposite direction, moving to
reduce the state’s prison population through lowering sentencing minimums,
particularly for non-violent offenders. The state’s criminal justice system is
embarking on further changes, including the elimination of cash bail and
protections for jail detainees, due to a massive law passed early in 2021 at
the behest of Black legislators.
But now an unlikely legislator, state Rep. La Shawn Ford, wants to revisit the
issue of capital punishment for those who murder minors.
“A capital offense means that you will go to jail for
life or you will be put to death for the killing of a baby in the state of
Illinois,” Ford said. “Criminals know that they
can get away with murder in Chicago and in the state of Illinois because: One
they’re not being caught, two, when they’re caught they get out of jail. And
they commit more murders. And so we know that the law is set up to act as a
deterrent.”
You killed a person and
you are put in prison for life? The one you killed is not in jail but he is
dead." - Yoweri Museveni
Many criminal justice experts say legal punishment is not effective in
deterring violent crime.
Ford, a Chicago Democrat, said he realizes his proposal to stiffen penalties
for child murderers defies the general push toward decriminalization that the
Black Caucus, of which he is a member, has been pushing for. He also said he
recognizes the justice system punishes Black people at disproportionate rates.
His father Moultry Sr
(pictured left) was at the family home during the shooting, but was uninjured.
The unnamed family friend was injured by shattered glass. Moultry Sr reported
held his son in his arms until paramedics arrived to take the boy to Comer
Children's Hospital
But he said he wants to give a platform to the parents of children killed by
gun violence, and that he believes the threat of life in prison or death would
give criminals pause before shooting somewhere like a playground or McDonald’s,
where children may be present.
Ford introduced his plan standing alongside parents of slain children, like
Angela Gregg and Mychal Moultry.
Their son, Mychal James Moultry, Jr. would be 5 the day after Thanksgiving were
he still alive.
Mychal, or M.J., was killed in September when he was with his parents getting
his hair braided in Woodlawn ahead of a planned Labor Day vacation to the
Wisconsin Dells.
“He was shot in front of me. Two bullets to the head.
Enough is enough,” his dad said. “We need to
stop these killings because right now our future is dying. My legacy is dying.
My legacy died, my legacy’s been taken away from me … and I didn’t do anything
wrong but just try to show him a better life. And he was just collateral damage
… this needs to stop. It could be anybody child.”
Moultry grew up in Chicago, then left to Alabama for college. He said Chicago’s
different now from when he was growing up – people wouldn’t callously kill
children like collateral damage and keep quiet about it, then.
He never would have brought his family to Chicago had he known what would
happen, he said.
M.J.’s mom described her only son as smart, brilliant and loved by everyone he
encountered. She said she watched from the hospital for two days, as the happy
boy she knew drifted to nothing.
A piece of her died that day, she said.
With nothing left, she said she is fearless and now spending every day going
door to door on a hunt for Mychal’s killer.
“He was murdered. And nobody in this city is coming
forward with any type of information, any type of lead,” Gregg said. “You took him. You know you did this. You know you took him
from his (family). And you stay in hiding, like a coward.”
Seventy days since then, there have been no charges filed and no arrests, she
said.
Through her work, Gregg has come to know Catalina Andrade, whose teen, Miguel
Angel Rios, was robbed and shot July 18, 2020 after visiting a friend in Little
Village.
Rios was working at the time to save up for college where he planned to study
to be an engineer.
Andrade said Chicago is allowing people to literally get away with murder.
“This is unfair. These criminals are out there,
destroying families. And they get away with it. Something needs to get changed.
I know there’s nothing that’s going to bring my child back, but I’m going to
continue fighting for my son’s justice,” she said. “My son did not deserve what they did to him. My son was a
great kid. He was a hard-working young man. And if you did the crime, you can
do the time.”
If the criminal taking of a human life does not merit forfeiture of
one's own life, then what value have we placed on the life taken? - Pat
Buchanan
Ford said he personally does not back the death penalty, but he said officials
owe it to victims like Andrade, Gregg and Moultry to consider it.
“Something has to be done,” Gregg said. “The reason you guys are able to hide, the reason you guys
don’t’ have to come forward and you feel very comfortable shooting children and
going back home at night is because the laws need to change. The justice system
has failed these children.”
Executions are still permissible at the federal level.
Ford said while he does not want to point fingers, he also wants to encourage
the U.S. Attorney’s office to take up prosecutions of those accused of
murdering children.
Those who allow violent
criminals the opportunity to kill, maim and rape, share the responsibility for
it and the tragedy such crimes produce. More, they allow these monsters to
create for all of us a world as dark and evil as their own.
Illinois
has intentionally reduced its prison population, and made changes to sentencing
laws to reduce offenders’ time behind bars. Now some victims’ family members
are calling for the state to reverse directions when it comes to those who
murder children. #ChicagoTonightWTTW#WTTWNews
On a personal level, do any
of you disagree with the fact that child rapists deserve the death penalty? I
used to be not really pro-death penalty. I'm super pro-death penalty now. –
Steven Crowder
“I care more about how the
families feel than I care about this guy being trapped or not being trapped.
And if the families are telling me that the way they’re going to get closure is
by him being put to the death penalty, then so be it. Because the priority, for
me, is the families that had those lives stolen from them.” – Ana Navarro said,
referring to the alternative of him spending life in prison.

“The Office of the Oklahoma Attorney General respects the statutory authority of the Governor to make this decision. I know Governor Stitt is making what he believes is the right decision. I appreciate the Governor’s condition that Mr. Jones never be released from prison. However, we are greatly disappointed that after 22 years, four appeals, including the review of 13 appellate Judges, the work of the investigators, prosecutors, jurors, and the trial Judge have been set aside. A thorough review of the evidence confirms Julius Jones’ guilt in this case and that the death penalty was warranted. Our office will continue to work for justice and for the safety of all Oklahomans, including families like Paul Howell’s. We recognize that the pain of losing a loved one never ends, and our hearts and prayers are with the Howell family.”
- Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter
For the past twenty-one years, both the state and federal judicial system have been involved scrutinizing this case. The courts have heard multiple appeals in multiple forms and at multiple levels from Julius Jones. They have found no claim which necessitated the granting of relief. Julius Jones’ defense team’s only hope now is to create such an uproar through a misinformation campaign as to put pressure on those that grant commutation or clemency. So for that, they turn to celebrities to help spread their misinformation…athletes and influencers with millions of followers. They turn to social justice warriors who do not have access to the transcripts, or to the legal opinions authored by the various appellate courts. Individuals who blindly trust that what they are being told is the truth. These social justice warriors, whom although well intentioned, know nothing about the rules of the evidence, trial strategy and the admissibility of evidence.
– Justice For Paul Howell
“The fact is, Julius Jones murdered Paul Howell in cold blood in front of his sister and daughters. No celebrity imploration or profusion of misinformation will change that.”
We, the members of Unit 1012: The VFFDP, stand with the family members of Paul Howell and we know that Julius Jones is guilty. Read this article and hear from the Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter. He is similar to Montez Spradley or Anthony Porter or Timothy Hennis. All were innocence fraud cases.
While, it was a difficult decision for Governor Stitt to commute his death sentence to LWOP, we still know the truth, Julius Jones is 100% guilty. We thank all those who supported the Howell Family. That is why Malcolm X’s warning was true:
“The media’s the most
powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and
to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they control the minds
of the masses. The press is so powerful in its image-making role, it can make
the criminal look like he’s the victim and make the victim look like he’s the
criminal. This is the press, an irresponsible press. It will make the criminal
look like he’s the victim and make the victim look like he’s the criminal. If
you aren’t careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are
being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”
Gov. Stitt commutes Julius Jones' sentence to life in prison without parole
by KOKH STAFF
Friday, November 19th 2021
OKLAHOMA CITY (KOKH) - Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt commuted the sentence of Julius Jones to life in prison without the possibility of parole on Thursday.
“After prayerful consideration and reviewing materials presented by all sides of this case, I have determined to commute Julius Jones’ sentence to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole," Stitt said.
Stitt has ordered that Jones won't be eligible to apply for or be considered for a commutation, pardon, or parole for the remainder of his life.
The state’s Pardon and Parole Board recommended in a 3-1 vote on Nov. 1 that Stitt commute Jones’ sentence to life in prison with the possibility of parole.
"While we hoped the Governor would adopt the Board's recommendation in full by commuting Julius' sentence to life with the possibility of parole in the light of the overwhelming evidence of Julius' innocence, we are grateful that the Governor has prevented an irreparable mistake," said Amanda Bass, an attorney for Jones.
Jones' mother, Madeline Davis-Jones, said she was grateful that she won't be watching her son die in an execution chamber.
“For over twenty years, I have been haunted by the idea of watching my baby boy die in an execution chamber for a murder that occurred when he was home with his family," Davis-Jones said. "I am grateful that after today’s decision by the governor, that can no longer happen."
The Howell family said they recognized that Stitt had a difficult decision to make.
"We know Governor Stitt had a difficult decision to make," the Howell family said in a statement. "We take comfort that his decision affirmed the guilt of Julius Jones and that he shall not be eligible to apply for, or be considered for, a commutation, pardon, or parole for the remainder of his life."
The Oklahoma Attorney General's Office expressed disappointment with Stitt's decision.
"I know Governor Stitt is making what he believes is the right decision," the office said in a release. "I appreciate the Governor’s condition that Mr. Jones never be released from prison. However, we are greatly disappointed that after 22 years, four appeals, including the review of 13 appellate Judges, the work of the investigators, prosecutors, jurors, and the trial Judge have been set aside. A thorough review of the evidence confirms Julius Jones’ guilt in this case and that the death penalty was warranted."
Partial information will
be treated as a lie. – Quote from Zero Dark Thirty
Jones was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to die for the 1999 shooting death of Paul Howell during a carjacking in Edmond.
Jones maintains he is innocent and claims he was framed by the actual killer, a high school friend and co-defendant who testified against Jones and was released from prison after 15 years.
Supporters of Jones have been camped out in support at the Oklahoma State Capitol most of the week.
You killed a person and
you are put in prison for life? The one you killed is not in jail but he is
dead." - Yoweri Museveni
Justice 4 Peggy Coalition Releases Statement On Julius Jones Execution
Thursday, November 11th 2021, 5:10 am
By: News 9
Though the Howell family is not commenting at this time, they have approved the following by close friends and supporters:
Close friends & victim advocates from Justice 4 Peggy coalition confirm the Howell family met with Governor Stitt and his team yesterday to discuss the Pardon and Parole Board’s recommendation of clemency for Julius Jones, who was convicted of murdering Paul Howell and sentenced to death in 2002. To us, they expressed gratitude that Governor Stitt and his team took the time to personally meet with the family. Though the details of this meeting are strictly confidential the Howell's very much appreciated the opportunity to share their concerns directly with the Governor and answer any questions he had for them.
As close friends of the Howells and victims' advocates, we are incredibly proud of the Howell family. The bravery and courage they have demonstrated for twenty years cannot be overstated. They are thankful, as are we, for the growing body of support uplifting their family.
As victims & victim advocates, we know all too well the Howell's pain of losing a loved one to violent crime and even unexpected loss of non violent crimes, It never subsides. We encourage Howell family supporters and friends to continue sending them your positive messages along with your prayers. We also ask that you continue supporting them by using your voice and contacting Governor Stitt’s office @ 405-521-2342 (then press 0) to ask him to deny clemency for Julius Jones.
We will continue posting the facts of the case, directly from the transcripts, throughout social media to ensure the family receives justice rightfully decided by a jury of twelve in 2002.
It diminishes the
victims when people burn candles and mourn someone who has committed a heinous
crime. People on death row are some of the worst individuals that appear on the
face of the earth. The abolitionists refuse to acknowledge that evil exists and
evil has to be put down. – Marc Klaas
'If he is executed tomorrow, that's justice': Victim supporters in Julius Jones case say
by Lily Cummings, KTUL Staff
Thursday, November 18th 2021
TULSA, Okla. (KTUL) — This could be the last night Julius Jones sits on death row.
Governor Kevin Stitt is expected to weigh in on whether he will grant Jones clemency or proceed with his execution tomorrow.
The State Pardon and Parole Board has recommended clemency twice now.
The family of the man Jones is convicted of murdering in 1999 is speaking out.
Paul Howell was an Edmond businessman and father.
Paul Howell's daughter, Rachel, said Jones is guilty.
"He 100 percent did this. He murdered my father," Howell said.
Rachel Howell was young at the time but witnessed the entire thing.
"That's the main image that I remember is my dad's head falling," Howell said.
It's now been 22 years, but regardless of the outcome, it won't be the end for either the Jones or Howell families.
Jennifer Harmon, co-founder of Justice 4 Peggy, said she's in touch with the Howell family multiple times a day.
Harmon said Justice 4 Peggy is an organization founded after Peggy Gaytan was murdered in 2011 at a midtown convenience store.
"I can only imagine what Paul Howell's family is going through," Harmon said, "I mean we and the Gaytan family have just barely had a taste of it."
We asked if she believed the Howell family wants to see Jones executed.
"What they have conveyed is that if he is executed tomorrow that's justice," Harmon said. Jones's family was denied their request to meet with the Governor.
"They got used. They got used by people who were just anti-death penalty," Harmon said, "People that say I know he's guilty but we need a martyr."
Gov. Stitt has met with both parties' attorneys and the Howell family.
The overwhelming evidence in this case supports the courts’ decision/conviction that Julius Jones murdered Paul Howell on July 28th, 1999.

Fact vs. Fiction
Criminal
Past
FICTION: Jones stated at the
time of his trial he had not been involved in any violent criminal activity.
FACT: Jones pled guilty to a
robbery with a firearm that occurred just six days prior to the murder. He was
positively identified by the victim in this case. Jones was also involved in an
additional armed carjacking and attempted kidnapping.
Jones’ criminal history was filled with the use
and threat of violence: armed robbery, carjackings, and assault. The State
presented evidence that Jones
had on at least three occasions taken property by force and by gunpoint.
that his relationship with Jordan was only casual.
FACT: Jones’ girlfriend
testified that Jones and Jordan were best friends, especially during the Summer
of 1999.
The main reason is that
evil is not interested in ridding the world of evil. Evil is simply interested
in ignoring the problem at hand. Blame someone else by creating additional
enemies to keep the sheep from paying attention to the wolves.
of July 28th, 1999, Paul Howell was brutally murdered in front of his sister
and two young daughters as he pulled his Suburban into his parents’ driveway
after an evening of back-to-school shopping.
Julius Jones
walked up to the car and put the gun to Paul’s head, pulling the trigger.
As Paul’s sister was rushing the girls out of the car and towards the house,
Jones fired another shot before driving away in the Suburban. The
victim’s sister told police that the killer was wearing a red bandana, a white
shirt and a black stocking cap.
On July
31st, Julius Jones was arrested and charged with the murder of Paul Howell.
Police found a .25 caliber handgun (the murder weapon - confirmed by ballistics
testing) wrapped in a red bandana in the attic space above Jones’s bedroom
closet at his parents’ home. The magazine for the gun was in the doorbell
chime housing and .25 caliber ammunition was recoverd from Jones’ vehicle which
had been taken to a mechanic shop in the immediate days following the
murder. Jones also had a white T-shirt with black trim and a black
stocking cap in his bedroom.
Jones had a
history of criminal and violent activity leading up to the murder of Paul
Howell, including two other armed carjackings and attempted kidnapping. Jones
had also pled guilty, before the murder, to unlawful use of a fictitious name,
false declaration to a pawnbroker, concealing stolen property, and larceny from
a retailer.
Jones was
found guilty of the murder of Paul Howell in a court of law and convicted of
felony murder, possession of a firearm and conspiracy, and conspiracy to commit
a felony (armed robbery).
Julius Jones
has had his day in court, numerous times. His case has been granted reviews in
the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals (“OCCA”) 4 times. All told, because of
changes in the composition of the OCCA, a total of 13 appellate judges have
reviewed Jones’s conviction and sentence. For each appeal the OCCA found
“overwhelming” evidence of Jones’s guilt.
In 2017, DNA
testing of the red bandana found wrapped around the murder weapon in Jones’s
home further
incriminated Jones by testing positive for his DNA.
“The fact is, Julius Jones murdered Paul Howell in cold blood in front of his sister and daughters. No celebrity imploration or profusion of misinformation will change that.”
- Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter
In all, a total of 13 appellate judges have reviewed Jones’s conviction and sentence —this includes 9 OCCA judges, District Judge Timothy DeGuisti, and 3 Tenth Circuit Judges. The Supreme Court has turned down 4 opportunities to review Jones’s case.
“What honors the victims of the crime, what helps the families, is to know that the public is informed. So if you are going to take a position that somebody is actually innocent, read the case transcripts before you just hop on a bandwagon because what you are really doing is dishonoring a victim of a crime. If you’re not familiar with the case, don’t advocate for something you know nothing about.” Thank you Jennifer Harmon for continuing to advocate for our family, and all families of violent crimes.
