A 17-year-old California teenager previously charged with a double murder as a minor was charged with another murder after his release

A 17-year-old gang member from California who was charged as a juvenile in a double murder that occurred five years ago is now charged in connection with another murder.

East Coast Crips member Shanice Dyer was convicted of murdering Alfredo Carrera and his friend José Flores Velázquez in Los Angeles because they were on gang territory, Fox 11 reported.

Dyer was charged with first-degree murder by then-Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey and was set to be tried as an adult. But when George Gascón took over as district attorney, he had Dyer charged as a juvenile.

She was imprisoned for less than four years before being released despite her conviction for two murders.

Now Dyer is accused of being an accessory to the murder of 21-year-old Joshua Streeter.

“Our hearts break for the victim and his family. This is an unimaginable tragedy. However, it is highly unlikely that Ms. Dyer would have been transferred under any administration,” a spokesperson for Gascón’s office told Fox 11. “Under the law, there are five factors that a juvenile court would have considered and weighed in determining whether Ms Dyer would be willing to remain in the juvenile justice system.”

“Of these five factors, only one factor, the circumstances and seriousness of the offense, supported transfer to adult court,” the spokesman said. All other factors suggested that Ms. Dyer remained in the juvenile justice system. Given this, it is highly unlikely that Ms. Dyer would have been transferred to the adult system even if the court had held a transfer hearing.

The other four factors, according to the spokeswoman, are that Dyer was under the influence of adult men and acted at their direction, indicating that she did not demonstrate a high level of criminal sophistication; that she had no serious criminal history at the time; the amount of time and opportunities that remained at that time to rehabilitate her in the juvenile justice system and the lack of any prior opportunities to rehabilitate her in the juvenile justice system.

The District Attorney’s Juvenile Alternative Charging Evaluation Committee (JACE) was formed in March 2022. Since then, 23 JACE transfer requests have been approved for transfer requests to adult court, according to Fox 11.
