Families Furious as ‘Woke’ Prosecutor’s Plea Deal Cheats Them of Justice for Slain Loved Ones

The families of two victims shot dead by a repeat offender are furious after a plea deal from a ‘woke’ prosecutor’s office allowed the confessed killer’s sentences to run concurrently — meaning he could walk free in less than 27 years.

Marquez Hill-Turnipseed, now 24, admitted killing Eloe Lomax in a 2022 drive-by shooting before gunning down innocent bystander Stageina Whiting three years later during the 2025 Boom Island shooting in Minneapolis, KARE 11 reported.

Yet, instead of consecutive sentences recognizing each murder separately, notoriously woke warrior Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty’s office negotiated a concurrent 40-year sentence combining the two murders.

After serving two-thirds of his sentence behind bars, Hill-Turnipseed could leave prison in less than 27 years, around age 50, the outlet reported.

For the victims’ families, the deal is devastating.

Hill-Turnipseed’s courtroom apology only deepened the families’ pain when he declared, “My family got to go through the same thing.”

Judge Michael Burns immediately rejected that comparison: “You have not lost your life in the same way the family of Eloe and Stageina have.”
