Christie Parisien, Jaslyn Smith And Andre Clements Case
Two of the three former high schoolers accused of planning and carrying out the brutal murder of a Broward classmate back in 2021 have been sentenced to 25 years in prison after pleading guilty in the killing.
Christie Parisien and Jaslyn Smith were given the sentences on Thursday after the Broward State Attorney’s Office said they pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, evidence tampering and conspiracy to commit murder charges.
Authorities said Parisien, now 20, and Smith, now 19, plotted with Andre Clements to kill their Miramar High School classmate, 18-year-old Dwight “DJ” Grant, because he allegedly hooked up with Clements’ ex-girlfriend.
Grant was reported missing on Oct. 17, 2021, and his body was found two days later in some bushes at the Miramar apartment complex where he lived.
Authorities said he was stabbed with a knife and sword after he was lured into a stairwell at the complex.
The shocking murder was captured on surveillance footage and rocked the Miramar community.
Clements, now 20, is still facing first-degree murder, evidence tampering and conspiracy to commit murder charges in Grant’s killing. He has pleaded not guilty.
Last year, Clements’ attorneys sought to have the case against him dropped on a technicality. They claimed prosecutors had failed to charge him correctly since in the indictment, Clements’ name was only mentioned in the caption but not in the description below as the law requires.
Clements’ case is still pending.
“No one can never feel such hurt and lost like the mother who had brought him into this world. I continually asking the father to strengthen her throughout her journey in life,” Grant’s step-father, Patrick, said in a statement Friday. “Justice was done, even though this will never be forgotten or forgiven. No unjust deeds will ever go unpunished. Their actions were very ruthless and barbaric at such young age.”
Christie Parisien, Jaslyn Smith And Andre Clements News
A young man pled guilty to murdering a teenage romantic rival with a sword and enlisting the help of two of his friends to carry out the crime.
20-year-old Andre Clements was arrested in 2021, when he was just 17, alongside his two friends Christie Parisien, 17, and Jaslyn Smith, 16, for the alleged murder of an 18-year-old boy who reportedly slept with Clements’ ex-girlfriend, per affidavits obtained by WSVN.
According to interrogation footage, the two women enlisted by Clements did not think he was going to kill anyone, and he allegedly told the pair it would just be a fight.
In reality, Clements used the girls to lure the victim into an empty stairwell and outnumber him while Clements stabbed the boy to death with a sword.
Clements pled guilty to murder, tampering with evidence, and conspiracy to commit murder on Tuesday, earning a sentence of 40 years in prison. His two accomplices pled guilty to second-degree murder, tampering with evidence, and conspiracy to commit murder, earning sentences of 25 years in prison.
