Albuquerque –
Thursday, April 17, 13-year-old Johnathan Overbay was sentenced to the maximum penalty allowed under New Mexico law for the deliberate car crash that killed bicyclist Scott Habermehl. Overbay pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and will remain in custody until he turns 21. He was 12 years old when he drove the vehicle that intentionally struck and killed Habermehl.
Investigators state that on May 29, 2024, at 4:40 AM, officers from the Albuquerque Police Department responded to a fatal pedestrian crash at Moon and Aspen in NE Albuquerque. In February, officers recovered social media posts showing three juveniles— 13-year-old Johnathan Overbay, 11-year-old Messiah Hayes, and 16-year-old William Garcia (Garcia was 15 at the time of the incident)—in what police identified as a stolen vehicle.
Police believe the 11-year-old was holding a firearm in the passenger seat, while Overbay was driving and Garcia recorded the incident. Investigators believe the group deliberately struck Scott Habermehl as he rode his bicycle to work at Sandia Labs.
This case cased outrage in the community and called on lawmakers to tackle juvenile crime laws. Certain lawmakers avoided tackling the problem.
Hayes and Garcia have yet to be sentences for their roles.
I hope there is a civil suit against his family, liens until there isn’t any.
8 years for a human life? Got to wonder who is worse—the homicidal teenager or the corrupt, leftwing legislators who maintain the lax laws…
Maybe it’s time we start calling out all of the legislators. It’s not a left or right issue, it’s a human rights issue
Maybe it’s time we start *culling out all of the legislators. Viciously.
Big deal, so they stay in juvenile detention until the repeat offender heathens turn 21 & get out to commit more serious crimes then. I’m sure that’s a huge relief to the scientists family. Hopefully they get life in prison or die in a shootout with police at that time. These 3 are unredeedable.
Welfare punks who are worthless to society just like their parents
Not only “welfare punks” commit crimes. It was probably a spoiled, right wing rich kid who committed the crime, Ha Ha, so there! That is one racist comment Phil.
It was another feral ghetto beaner, not a “spoiled” White kid. Facts hurt, honeycunt?
Wow, thankfully I hadn’t heard those terms in a long time. Really racist terms that you are not afraid of using. How embarrassing! Did your mom teach you to talk that way?
The Exterminationist comment may be racist and sexist, but you asked for it.
How was his comment racist? He doesn’t mention race.
*That are worthless. “Who” implies these wretched vermin deserve consideration as human.
Enjoy your “society”.
Due to its high fat content, proper trimming and smaller portions of society are recommended to maximize enjoyment and minimize digestive discomfort.
Juvenile delinquents..smh.
WOW all he gets is 8 years for what he did. No wonder the crime rate is so high in ABQ. There are no consequences for them. Sad very sad!
I had thought the Bernalillo County DA stated that they were seeking FD Murder for all of these POS Lowlife trash??!! Oh well, not surprised.
Stolen car, possession of firearms, and no regard for human life or respect for anyone while the victim was on his way to work at 4:00 am riding his bike not bothering anyone.
Do you think its fair???!!!! Do you think this is justice???!!! Do you think the parents (or most likely grandparents since they were most likely MIA and prefer the high life/ party life instead of being responsible parents) will face any consequences – or even give a shit or are even remotely embarrassed for the way they were bringing up (or lack of) their mijo ?! Doesn’t matter! This is Albuquerque NM where the legislature, governor and judicial system love criminals.
I am sure we will hear more from this lowlife POS once he is out again in 2033 with a clean adult record like nothing ever happened.
