A Florida woman was arrested on murder charges after she allegedly killed a man with a hammer and left a chilling note on his bloody body that read, ‘PEDO Touches Children,’ in green highlighter.
Journee McGrew, 21, was arrested on July 2 after officers responded to reports of a dispute in an apartment complex in Jacksonville, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
Police arrived at the apartment just before 4am and found a man dead in a pool of blood.
The victim, later identified as Waduta Woodley, 41, was lying in front of an apartment behind a stairwell, according to an arrest report.
‘Large pools of blood were under the victim and copious amounts of blood were observed on the walls and ground,’ the report read.
The chilling note was placed on top of the victim’s chest, and Woodley was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officers also observed bloody footprints leading from the doorway to the bathroom and a metal hammer covered in blood in the bathroom sink.
Law enforcement collected a pair of pink Crocs, slippers covered in blood, and various items of clothing soaked in blood. They also took the pink notebook and green highlighter as evidence.

McGrew’s father, Victor Owens Sr., and brother, Victor Owens Jr., arrived at the crime scene and were questioned by police.
Her father told cops that McGrew had attempted to contact his wife multiple times during the night.
He then decided to check on his daughter around 2am and received a shocking call from McGrew in the car.
Owens Sr. told investigators that his daughter informed him Woodley came to her apartment and ‘demanded that she have sex with him,’ the Miami Herald reported.
She allegedly told her dad that after she denied his advances, he grabbed her, so she hit him in the head with a hammer.
‘I think he’s dead, Daddy,’ McGrew allegedly told her father over the phone.
The sheriff’s office said that McGrew accused Woodley of ‘grooming her’ since she was eight years old and previously sexually assaulted her.
McGrew reportedly told officers that she invited Woodley over and invited him to ‘spend time with him and have sex.’
After they went out and returned to the apartment, he allegedly pressured her into having sex, and she denied his advances.
McGrew then went to grab a metal hammer from her closet and hid it behind her back when she escorted him out of her apartment.
She reportedly told police that he turned toward her in an ‘aggressive’ way, which led to the physical altercation.
Police determined that Woodley died after suffering multiple blunt force injuries. McGrew was booked into the John E. Goode Pretrial Detention Facility for second-degree murder and tampering with evidence.
Her bond is set at $5,003, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office jail records.
