The Messed-Up Case Of Nikko Jenkins

Starting in 2003, Nikko Jenkins served 10 years in prison from the age of 15 for two armed carjackings, according to the Associated Press. 

Just eleven days after he was released in 2013, he shot and killed Juan Uribe-Pena and Jorge Cajiga-Ruiz to death after luring them with the help of his cousin and sister who pretended they were going to do sex acts with the men as prostitutes, court documents say. Both men were shot in the head with shotguns using deer slugs and their wallets stolen. 

Eight days later, Jenkins and his sister, Erica Jenkins, killed an acquaintance named Curtis Bradford. According to the prosecution, "Once they got to a location where he was murdered ... [Jenkins' sister] shot him once in the head. And then Jenkins said, this is how you do it, and — and proceeded to use a shotgun with a deer slug ..." (Erica was also convicted).

Next, just two days later, Jenkins killed a bartender named Andrea Kruger. According to court documents, Kruger was driving home from work the night of August 21, 2013, when she was carjacked by Jenkins, his uncle, his sister, and a cousin. The prosecutor claimed Jenkins pulled her out of her SUV so they could have the vehicle to "rob or jack other people." 

Jenkins shot Kruger four times in her head, neck, and back, then stole her car.
