On Wednesday, a circuit court judge sentenced Carlos L. Jones II to life in prison for the brutal murder of his ex-girlfriend, 23-year-old Sha’Dayla Johnson, according to online reports.
Court records show that Jones was indicted in January for first-degree murder, but jurors found him guilty on one count of second-degree murder while discharging a firearm causing death.
Sha’Dayla Johnson was shot and killed on the morning of December 20, 2022
Around 7:48 p.m. on December 20, 2022, the Melbourne Police Department responded to a call about a female being shot in the 2000 block of Colbert Circle. Upon arrival, officers found Johnson injured in a carport.
Police said the way Johnson was shot by Jones appears to indicate that “she was shot as she was walking or running away from the perpetrator,” according to court documents.
Johnson’s father told investigators that he was in the living room, sitting in his recliner, while Johnson was getting ready for work. After she exited the front door on her way to work, he said he heard gunshots. He said he looked out the window and saw Jones, the man Johnson had been dating for the past five months outside.
The father said he saw Jones standing behind his daughter’s vehicle, staring in the direction of the house. Jones’ car was blocking Johnson’s car from leaving the driveway. When Johnson’s father got outside, he saw that Jones and the car were gone, and his daughter was lying face down in a pool of blood.
Investigators later learned that Johnson and Jones had broken up two weeks before the shooting.
Johnson’s father said that Jones had been calling and harassing his daughter, attempting to reconcile with her.
“Sha’Dayla Johnson refused to speak to Carlos Jones and ignored his calls and texts,” the affidavit states.
He turned himself in at the Palm Bay Police Department approximately three hours after the shooting, as stated in the affidavit.
Melbourne detectives said that Jones confessed, admitting that he intentionally shot Johnson using a semi-automatic pistol that he owned, and that the attack was premeditated.

The affidavit said Jones told investigators that he woke up “angry” on the morning of the murder because Johnson had been ignoring his calls and messages.
“Carlos Jones said it was that very moment when he decided he was going to shoot and kill Sha’Dayla [Johnson],” officers wrote.
