The audacity of modern crime is deeply disturbing, and the case of Marcus Ealy exemplifies this grim reality. Imagine: a gold necklace, a victim with hands raised in surrender, and an execution-style murder caught vividly on surveillance footage. Even more shocking, Ealy took selfies with the stolen jewelry and shared them online, highlighting the depths of depravity some will reach in pursuing their desires.

I don't want to believe thatthey are, but, uh, this is
coming out of, uh, nbc six,south Florida.
(00:21):
A man was accused of shootingand killing a person in an
execution-style murder that wascaught on camera, and now this
dummy is hoping a judge wouldgrant him some form of release
from jail while he's awaitingtrial.
You big dummy.

killing on camera, and then thedummy took a selfie with the
victim's gold medallion that hejust snatched off his neck.

armed robbery for the 23shooting death of 21 year old
(01:03):
Malcolm Avery Johnson Jr.
Ely's alleged accomplice, marioFogar, has pleaded guilty to
second degree murder and isexpected to testify against Ely.
Prosecutors have presentedevidence, including surveillance
footage and statements fromEly's mother and brother, to
support the charges against Ealy.
(01:26):
Now I'm going to play you theclip from NBC6 South Florida.
And again, this is thestupidest thing ever.
You guys, you got to help meout on this one.
Does it make sense?
This guy is trying to get someform of release from jail while
he's awaiting trial.
So I want you all to listen tothis clip and then let me know
(01:47):
what you think in the comments21-year-old man was killed by
two men trying to steal his goldnecklace.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
A deadly shooting happened back in May of 2023 in
North Miami Beach.
Now, two years later, one ofthe accused killers is hoping
for a judge to let him go homeand wait for his trial.
Nbc6 reporter Christian Colonjoins us with what the judge
decided.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Surveillance video captured when two men with guns
pulled up on 21-year-old MalcolmJohnson Jr to steal his gold
necklace.
As one man fought the victim,the other appeared to pick up
the victim's items from thefloor.
The robbery turned to murderwhen the thieves started
shooting the victim I justwanted to stop right there just
to point out something.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
The person that they shot you know, uh, you know
malcolm avery johnson jr.
The man had his hands up.
He knew he got got pretty much.
They got the car.
He's away the vehicle put hishands in the air and this guy
just pulls out the joint andjust starts letting go on him,
(02:54):
even though he's not resisting,he's not fighting for the car,
he's not fighting for the chain.
Folks, let me let y'allcontinue.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Victim collapsed as the killers drove away.
Marcus Ely is in jail forallegedly killing over this gold
necklace that police say hetook home to his girlfriend to
snap selfies.
Pictures showed the two posingwith the piece of jewelry just
(03:25):
hours after the real owner'slife was cut short you can see
it on the thumbnail, guys, the,the girlfriend and him.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
They're posing with the necklace that he just stole.
She's sitting in court with himnow and supported his
foolishness.
Um, I'm gonna let y'all just goahead and continue.
One assumption on top ofanother assumption on top of
another assumption in this case.
Uh, you have a flip, is whatyou have?
That's really what this case isabout.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Today, Ely's attorney slammed the state attorney's
case as weak and requested hisclient get house arrest to wait
for trial.
But prosecutors were againstany form of release out of jail,
since they are confident Ely isa killer.
Of release out of jail sincethey are confident Ely is a
killer, especially since thesecond man seen on video took a
20-year prison deal and flippedon his co-defendant.
(04:12):
Defendant agrees that he iswilling to testify in open court
against Marcus Ely required bythe court of the state,
including testifying that MarcusEly fired the gun to murder
victim Malcolm Avery Johnson Jr.
Mario Fogler told police Ealywas the shooter.
Additionally, Ealy's brothercalled police to confess.
He recognized the man on thesurveillance video as one of his
(04:34):
own.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
This is a lesson to all you kids out there.
You know what I mean.
Now, everybody that was in thatvideo flipped on him.
But he's trying to go homeuntil he can await his trial.
Everybody flipped on him.
Everybody said he's the one.
Clearly, they have all thevideo evidence that they need
right there.
This thing is about almost HD.
To go home until he can awaithis trial.
Everybody flipped on him.
Everybody say he's the one.
Clearly, they have all thevideo evidence that they need
right there.
This thing is about almost hdquality.
Um, and everybody flipped on.
This is ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
I'm gonna let y'all go ahead and continue this I
can't in any good conscience saythat it would be safe for the
community to return thisdefendant to his home, where the
law enforcement has gone to theexpense of putting a pole cam
to observe what's going on, andat the end of today's hearing
the judge denied granting him abond.
She felt the community would bea lot safer with him behind
(05:15):
bars, especially since policewere already surveying his house
through a secret camera beforethis chain murder even happened.
Ealy has pleaded not guilty.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I don't know what he thought by even asking for this.
You know, and we got to beconscious of this.
I mean, you can't just letthese cats in the street.
Man, like, if you see thisvideo, it's disgusting.
The man put his hands up, yougot the car.
I mean he's like away from's.
Disgusting.
The man put his hands up, yougot the car.
I mean he's like away from thecar.
Still got his hands up, youstill decide I'm just go ahead
(05:52):
and let this thing go.
I could even understand if theguy was reaching, if he seemed
like he had a gun on him, if hewas, you know, doing something
kind of to defend himself.
You don't even see this in thevideo at all, but you know, it
makes me think a lot of times,like what is going on with our
people, like we have thesediscussions all the time and it
(06:15):
seems like we're just likedescending into madness.
Man, we should know better thanthis.
We should know better than this.
Man, we should know better thanthis.
This is.
This makes no sense.
Not only should we know betterthan this, we are.
This makes no sense.
Not only should we know betterthan this, we are better than
this.
I want to believe we are, youknow.
I mean, I want to believe thatwe are better than this.
Let me know what you think inthe comments.
(06:35):
Should the judge have grantedhim some form of release until
this trial?
Do you think it's better thathe's not on the streets?
I for one think if he murderedthis man in cold blood, he he
should be sitting right where heat cool your jets.
There's nothing back here foryou.
This is the immediate future.
Right now.
You go ahead and you sit hereand you think about this until
we decide what we're gonna dowith you.
(06:56):
Like the judge said, who ingood conscience would give a
murder suspect some form offreedom?
That's, that's not gonna.
That's not gonna fly y'all.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I'm just gonna say my people, my people, how long?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
