LANCASTER – A 43-year-old man accused of stabbing a man during an argument at a Lancaster trailer park has been charged with the man’s death.

James Robert Carson of Lancaster was charged Tuesday with one count of murder in connection with the killing of 50-year-old Joey Dean Jojola, according to Sarah Ardalani of the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.

Carson was scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday, but the court appearance was postponed to March 22 at the Antelope Valley Courthouse, Ardalani said.

The murder charged stems from an incident that was reported around 1 p.m. Friday, March 3, at  a trailer park on the 1400 block of East Avenue I in Lancaster.

Responding deputies were confronted by a man who surrendered himself and said he had stabbed a man during an argument, according to a news release from the Sheriff’s Information Bureau.

A folding knife was recovered at the scene.

The victim, later identified as Jojola, sustained multiple stab wounds to the upper torso and was pronounced dead at the hospital, sheriff’s officials said.

Carson was arrested around 1:15 p.m. Friday, March 3, and has remained in custody since his arrest, according to LASD inmate records.

Sheriff’s officials have released few details on what led up to the argument and stabbing. Several of Jojola’s friends told The AV Times that Jojola did not live at the trailer park, but was there visiting a relative when the altercation occurred.

  1. I live in Az and just became aware of my old friend. He was a friend a protector a good hearted man and I loved his spirit. I will miss the light he shined and I am so glad for seeing him briefly 4 years ago for one of his genuine hugs. Joey Jojola 1985 is when i me you, you will be missed with that special place in my heart that my true friends reside.

    To his family my condolences love and light. Amen

  2. My heart breaks for Jeaneil, Robert and the rest of Joey’s world. Sending my condolences to you all.

  3. @Saundra , Joe’s daughter
    I am truly sorry for the loss . Really I am, However I see from the comments made by you and your family that it is more important to bash Joe and his wife and you are all coming off more concerned about making yourself look better to everyone, only posting to address all the Tweeker comments. You and your family not once mentioned that any of you miss, love him or that he was a good guy. Seems a bit heartless to say the least. As for Joe’s wife kicking you out of the home that Joe bought seems like it was a smart thing to do. I mean after all you have no job, no way to pay space rent, bills or any payments there may be on the home. I know the daddy of your kid has no way to help because he is in jail . How do you plan to support the home and you/baby?? I don’t believe she did it yo be mean and hateful, She is just smart enough to know if she lets you stay it would be a mistake and damage your dad’s name and credit. Though it leaves you having to go live back at your mom’s yet again I DON’T BLAME ROXY AND WOULD DO THE SAME. Perhaps it’s time to get your life straight and clean out the bad stuff from your life, you have a kid now so it’s time to step up and be the clear headed mom she needs. I know what kind of life you live, I’ve known you since you were in your earlier teens so I have seen a lot that others haven’t. It’s time !!!

    • If you are truly sorry for Saundra’s loss you wouldn’t be attacking her. She is young and doesn’t understand the way life really is, she sees things through the eyes of a child. She doesn’t understand why things are they way they are. Roxy is right in her decision but Saundra is not capable of understanding that right now. Joey loved Saundra and what happened isn’t her fault. I’m sure he wouldn’t want his daughter to be attacked during her time of grief. Everyone makes mistakes in life and she still has time to grow up and turn her life around. She needs love right now , not other people’s insensitive opinions.

  4. My condolences to his wife and family. I cannot imagine what they must be feeling in this very moment.

    Rooting for his wife Roxy to beat the beast.

    Going to go buy my peacemaker TODAY.

  5. I went to Quartz Hill High school with Joey Jojola!*….Joey was a very loving,sweet teddy bear…..He use to carry my books to my class when they were to heavy for me…Joey always went out of his way to help others….He will be missed and loved by so many friends…Joey was extremely popular in school….Joey was a very hard working man that loved his daughter more then anything in the whole World!*…We will miss U Joey Jojola….Love always L.

  7. We all need to have ass clown jerry “moonbeam” browns head on a stick, This catch and early release is negatively affecting more and more Californians.

    The low life that killed a 28 year vetran policeman in Whittier Calif just 2 weeks ago was an early release as well. He too had killed someone before, Plead down to manslaughter. Killed a Cop that literally has 2 months to retire.

    I really feel bad for Joeys widow.

  8. I didnt know the victim but someone close to me did, What a waste of two lifes, The victim and accused, I know why the AVT does i,t however I dont feel its right to put Joeys Pic next to that evil pusillanimous being.

    We will pray his sole, his widdow and others that were dependent on Joey.

  9. You can get victims of violent crimes to pay for his funeral the lady is at the court house.

    • Good luck with that mess, victims of violent crimes are victimized all over again when they apply for that crap!

  10. free obamacare, free everything, loot and pillage small business, whatever they like just help themselves, shoplifting to their hearts’ content, never in history did the hoodlums, the punks, the brothas and the gangbangers have it better than under travon’s long lost dad, barackus obamus. you think you gonna to “take back” our country? go right ahead, slick! i double dog dare you! just try pushing back, you gonna end up just like joey-dean! they gonna make an example outta you, boy! umm hmm!

    • Well aren’t you a negative piece of [removed]. You probably get EVERYTHING FREE EVERYTHING HANDED TO YOU. HOW DARE YOU PUT JOEY IN THE HE DESERVED IT CATEGORY. GO TO HELL. AND I PRAY YOU DIE SLOW.
      RIP JOEY LOVE AND MISS YOU

  11. This just proves all you racist ppl that not only immigrants are criminals right? point proven he is white so shut your mouths

    • who gives a rats a– if the guys were white. They were both born in the United States. And if this country wants to make laws that send immigrants back to their home country if they commit a felony that’s our own damn business. So you can go ahead and SHUT your own mouth you racist immigrant.

      • Oh no, ignorant Mike is back. Yes, this is our country, not a “white only” place anymore, that must burn for dingbats like you. Not everyone is stupidly narrow minded, don’t you have white sheets to wash and press?

      • Ohhhh u hurt? Truth only saying what is truth so go ahead and cry your eyes out nobody cares.

      • It don’t matter they are criminals even if they are born here why are you defending these criminals you just have to admit whites are criminals to so sick it up

      • Actually, no, that isn’t “our own damn business.” You and your nationalist pals might think that the US should have the right to just send anyone they want anywhere they want, but that isn’t how the world works. If Dingbat Don and Obersturmfuhrer Bannon decide that they don’t like me and say “his grandparents cam from Scotland, send him there” SCOTLAND actually has a say in the matter…even if in your totalitarian paradise I wouldn’t.

  13. This saddens me greatly because i knew Joey from high school. He was always one of the coolest guys driving around in his little van. He was a good guy whose been in the AV aong time. So very sad.

  15. The only person to blame here is Hillary Clinton. It’s all her fault this happened.

  16. … a sanctuary city, Southern California is America’s west coast bastion, for the hoodlums, the punks, the brothas and the gangbangers. Wild-wild west, scariest people on planet Earth, these people rule Los Angeles County. Just inadvertently looking at these punks sideways, however unintentionally? That fast, you’ll be face down, bleeding out in your own driveway. Boo-hoo-hoo, cry me a river, but for no good reason than the people who decreed SoCal a sanctuary city? Because of you, this guy’s dead. This is your bed. Sleep in it –

    • @Kevin
      What are you saying you imbecile? What do sanctuary cities have to do with this news piece? The perpetrator was obviously a white supremacist! The crap we have to read, I had a good laugh at your expense this morning. Big thanks.

      • I was so confused reading Kevin says . . . What the heck was all that? Rest in peace Joey

    • You ralize this guy is not an immigrant?? That big ol’ swastika on his chest should make that clear.

    • Ummm… deported? He’s white, not Hispanic as in an illegal if that’s what you’re thinking.

    • It is really sad but this is literally how much information the public has about illegal immigrants and deportation. They listen to a little bit of what they are told and then protest, cause havoc, hate and discontent. It is evident from the picture that this person is white and either once was or still is white pride (I won’t say supremisist because I don’t want to judge). People need to pay attention and listen to more then just other people who are angry and say what they want others to hear so that they are angry right along with them. Thinking for yourself and having a voice all your own is hard most times because your going against the masses but there is always that chance that you may end up bieng the one leading the masses and help this world to be a better place for our kids and grandkids.

      As for the story itself… it is a tragedy when anybody loses thier life but it is downright disgusting when someone loses their life over somebodys anger issues, bad day or something that is as inconsequential as an argument…. This was unavoidable and I feel bad for the families of both men. Children, young or grown, are the ones who suffer the most when things like this happen. It doesnt’ matter what nationality, color, social status, where your from, where your not from we are all still human beings and somewhere along the line we have forgot that.

      “I am only better then the me that walked this planet yesterday because it’s getting better all the time and so am I!”

      • It was a sarcastic remark,(illegal immigrant) obviously he’s white, if people actually thoroughly read correctly and stop taking it literally….READ!!!!! I have actually had mature conversations with people of all different ethnicities and people who actually have family and friends that are illegal , and they agree with you should not come here illegally, at least get your proper paperwork to do so, and it shouldn’t take so long to do, no excuses!!! It’s not being racist, that’s just an excuse!

    • Yeah on top of people being here illegally, we should also get rid of these kind of criminals as well as pedophiles, druggies, etc…Then America would be great!! Got to earn it to live here..That would be the American dream!!!

  18. Your mother must be so proud dirt bag just give him the letal injection sorry for all of Joey’s family & friend’s absolutely disgusting

      • none of us understand what it must have been like for saundra to watch her dad be killed right in front of her!! she is a person too! All of us make mistakes but absolutely none of this is her fault so know the whole story before leaving mean comments and unless u see saundra herself leaving comments on here or anywhere else talk amongst friends or family not on the internet she was given a [removed] hand but also deserves compassion SAUNDRA I KNOW YOUR DADDY LOVED YOU AND I LOVE U TO HUN!! I’m sure Joey wouldn’t want saundra receiving all of this backlash for a situation involving 2 grown men, this tragic situation is unreal and totally sad, but placing the blame or saying mean and hateful things isn’t gonna get anyone anywhere

    • Amen! I remember Joey fantastic guy. I know he was in the right and I don’t need the WHOLE story. Lethal injection now for the scum dirt piece of crap douch bag!

    • since when does it take 25k to have a funeral?? sounds like you guys are trying to milk a bad situation..

      • Funerals are expensive, that’s sounds about right, had a friend killed out here in the AV too and it was around that, also had a friend killed himself, and that was basically around the same cost, check your stats, it’s always the good ones that leave this Earth, hope guy serves life! probably over something pathetic too, so easier way to deal with is murder, as with most druggies

      • His wife was left alone to battle breast cancer and to take care of her parents who have dimenia because joey took care of all of them financially and physically and they now have to make arrangements to have them cared for you insensitive prick!!! Why don’t you read there [removed] situation before you sit there and put you [removed] two cents in!!!

      • DEAR TM.

AND SHE IS UNABLE TO WORK AND IT WAS HER LOVING DEAR HUSBAND TOOK ON THIS FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES, SHE IS FIGHTING FOR HER LIFE.

      • To whoever this is you’re a sick person. You must be filled with self hatred. You are trash . You are a lowlife POS

        • naw I’m just stating the obvious.. dude hanged with lowlifes.. you are who you associate with.. the ignorant ones are you and whoever sees this as some poor guy who got killed for no good reason. its called reality learn to see it for what it is.. play with fire and eventually youll get burned..

          • To : Grow Up
            Joey didn’t associate with lowlife people.
            He was at that location trying to keep his family safe.
            You are illiterate
            and you should keep your twisted comments to yourself. You are the lowlife !!

          • You should never speak ill of the dead. To whomever said such ill things of Joey , you will never be half the human he was. With that said Joey was a loving father and husband.He was also a wonderful friend .He was against drugs and was a hard working man. He was loved by many.
            RIP Joey My Sweet Friend

          • Hi everyone this is Joeys daughter 4. The ones that speak highly of my dad thank u and 4 The rest of u get a [removed] life like really…oh and thank u to my dads wife 4 taking the roof from over my daughters head witch is the only thing my dad wanted was his only grandchild to have a place to sleep eat etc now my 1 year old daughter has to surfer cuz her grandpa is gone because of ppl like some of u on here. now the only thing he has gave my daughter is gone right along with him. . Roxy could even wait a week after my dad died to do this yea she is so sweet ha…and to the dumb ones that are pointing fingers at me and my mom u guy need to get your fax right because u look str8 stupid

        • Saundra if you are reading this , I want you to know that what’s going on right now is nothing your dad would have wanted, he only wanted to keep you safe. I am so sorry that they are taking your trailer from you. I’m so , sorry you’re in this nightmare alone.

      • It’s expensive that sounds about right and that is not for a fancy one. I lost my Mom last year and it costed my Dad about 10,000 for cremation. That was without the celebration of life. They have a lot I mean a lot of different fees that they add on. Every time I turned around they were adding fees. Don’t forget that you also have to not only pay for the Funeral Home but also the cemetery as well. So in my oppion what they are trying to raise will not cover everything.

      • Wise men talk because they have something to say;
        Fools talk because they have to say something.

        To all those with negative comments , you are the fools.

        • And you are ignorant you know the other word for ignorant? Shut the [removed] up your talking out of your [removed]

      • First of all have you had to bury someone you love lately?? I’m sure your answer is no…..so guess what?? 25,000 just pays for a nice service, flowers casket burial plot not much else. And nobody is “milking a bad situation” How dare you even suggest such a thing of my family. Of we could pay all by our selves we would!!

        #2 MY BROTHER WAS MANY THINGS BUT A TWEEKER IS NOT ONE OF THEM. HE NEVER DID DRUGS.

        #3 If you didn’t personally know him ……shut the Hell up!! My brother did not deserve what happened to him. He was an upstand citizen of this community. He was the sole owner the first year and a player of the A.V. Vikings and one of several owners after that. He was a GOOD MAN.

        You are obviously guessing at what you think is behind this crime. And you are wrong.

  20. That lovely skinhead killed my brother. He’s a lowlife scumbag who didn’t deserve to get out the first time he killed someone. Yes he did time on a manslaughter previously. If he would have never gotten our the first time my family would not be in mourning now. Such a sad sad situation.

  21. another wholesome nazi low rider/aryan brotherhood gentleman released under ab 109 & prop 57, free to play in the a.v.
