Teen killed in New Orleans was on ankle monitor
SUMMARY: Fifteen-year-old Javon Elo Jr. was killed a week ago while wearing an ankle monitor that was not being actively tracked, raising concerns among criminal justice officials. Despite having two open cases, he had recently completed a supervision program without violations and was reportedly on the right path. Javon had just been dropped off at a friend’s apartment instead of returning home, leading to his involvement in a fight before being shot. His family mourns his loss deeply. A new law requiring real-time monitoring of ankle monitors will take effect in January to prevent such tragedies in the future.
