   A New Jersey man has been sentenced for brutally murdering three   
   people and attempting to kill three others after becoming   
   enraged over a Facebook post.   
      
   Jeremy Arrington, 32, was sentenced to 375 years behind bars   
   following a 10-day jury trial for the murders of Ariel Little   
   Whitehurst, 7, Al-Jahon Whitehurst, 11, and Syasia McBurroughs,   
   23, the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office announced Friday. The   
   prison term is the equivalent of three life sentences per New   
   Jersey law, to be served consecutively, along with additional 50-   
   year sentences for each of three counts of attempted murder.   
      
   Under the state’s “No Early Release Act,” which mandates inmates   
   to serve at least 85% of their prison term, Arrington will be   
   eligible for parole in 281 years.   
      
   “Justice has been served,” said Deputy Chief Assistant   
   Prosecutor Justin Edwab. “This defendant is pure evil and   
   clearly deserves all 375 years in New Jersey State Prison for   
   the terrible crimes he committed on Nov. 5, 2016. These families   
   have waited over five years for this moment, and we are all so   
   grateful for this sentence.”   
      
   Arrington stood accused of breaking into a Newark home on Nov.   
   5, 2016, with a loaded gun and holding six people hostage, as   
   previously reported. His captives included the Whitehurst   
   children and McBurroughs – all of whom he murdered – as well as   
   the children’s then-29-year-old mother and her 13-year-old twin   
   siblings, prosecutors stated.   
      
   Arrington tied the victims up and began torturing them by   
   “stabbing them with kitchen knives.”   
      
   At the time, there were nine people in the home, which was owned   
   by the Whitehurst victims’ grandmother.   
      
   “Police were able to respond because a young girl with autism,   
   who is unrelated to the family and was just visiting, escaped   
   and called for help from her phone in a closet,” according to   
   the prosecutor’s office.   
      
   Arrington fled before responders arrived at the scene.   
      
   The Whitehurst children suffered severe stab wounds and were   
   pronounced dead at the University Hospital, while McBurroughs   
   was shot to death and pronounced dead on the scene.   
      
   The Whitehursts’ mother and her twin siblings, a male and   
   female, also sustained stab wounds but survived the attack.   
      
   Arrington was apprehended the next day at a Pomona Avenue   
   residence, where he barricaded himself and claimed to have a   
   hostage, according to the prosecutor’s office. Police learned   
   his claims were false and arrested him shortly thereafter.   
      
   Prosecutors said Arrington initiated the violent attacks “after   
   becoming enraged over a Facebook comment.”   
      
   “Someone in the house, it appears, may have posted the media   
   account of the fact that Mr. Arrington was wanted on a social   
   media platform, and it appears that that’s part of the   
   motivation, at least, for him going to the house on Saturday,”   
   then-acting Essex County Prosecutor Carolyn A. Murray said in   
   2016.   
      
   Arrington reportedly believed one of the victims reposted a   
   social media alert by police, which named Arrington as a suspect   
   in a previous shooting and sexual assault, according to NBC News.   
      
   Arrington was convicted of 28 criminal charges, including three   
   counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder. Other   
   charges included burglary, criminal restraint, unlawful   
   possession of a handgun, unlawful possession of a knife, and   
   possession of a handgun and a knife for an unlawful purpose.   
      
   Assistant Prosecutor Edwab sought six consecutive life sentences   
   for Arrington, citing the defendant’s lengthy criminal   
   background, which included 10 arrests between 2006 and 2016,   
   according to the prosecutor’s office. Arrington had four felony   
   convictions and three separate pending charges on the day of the   
   murders.   
      
   Jurors deliberated for less than two hours before arriving at   
   the verdict, according to NBC News.   
      
   “While nothing can bring back the lives of Ariel, Al-Jahon, and   
   Syasia, we hope today’s sentence will provide some sense of   
   closure to their families,” said Assistant Prosecutor Chelsea   
   Coleman.   
      
   At sentencing, Judge Ronald Wigler called Arrington’s crimes   
   “perhaps the most horrific, heinous, cruel, and depraved murders   
   this county has ever seen,” according to NBC News.   
      
   Arrington's defense attorney could not be reached for comment.
