“Can you state your side of the events, Mr. Miller” The Judge said firmly.

“My best friend was China Oakley born Rashaad Asir Oakley…a boy…just like me. She was only 17 and we had lots of stuff in common. We both liked to go out and party, smoke, drink, the whole nine. We always knew that the life we lived would eventually catch up with us, but we were living in the time.

Both of our lives changed the night of June 19, 2014. It was supposed to be fun and we were supposed to go back home like we usually do, but this time she didn’t make it.

After drinking with Lahmir Headley, the suspect, I had went off and left China and Lahmir alone. Since we were friends with the suspect, I didn’t really think anything of leaving her alone with him. I went off to go smoke some more weed and about 30 minutes later I heard a lot of commotion in the room, yelling and hollering. The yelling was definitely coming from China and the hollering was coming from Lahmir. At first, I didn’t think nothing I just figured they were in there fucking but then I remembered Lahmir didn’t know that China was male.

I immediately jumped up and ran to see what was happening. When I walked in China was lying lifeless, naked, and bloody near the bed. It was horrible. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. My heart instantly dropped in to my stomach. Once I realized what had happen there was a gun in my face.  A few of Lahmir’s friends had ran in the room as well to see what all the commotion was. Some of the boys tried to calm Lahmir down and some of the boys tried to see if China was breathing. Once Lahmir was calm, the boys left and Lahmir told me to never open my mouth about it or I’d end up like my best friend…DEAD.

My best friend was beaten to death. Literally beaten to death and Lahmir Headley is responsible and I believe he should be held responsible.”
