The post Breaking: R.I.P. Tito Jackson Passes Away Suddenly, Nephew Gives Details 🕊 appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

The tragic murder of Tito Jackson’s wife, Dee Dee Jackson, rocked the entire Jackson family, whom Dee Dee was very close to. Dee Dee was married to Tito for 21 years (from 1972-1993) and is the mother of his three sons, Tarryll, Taj, and TJ (also known as the pop group, 3T). She was murdered on April 27, 1994. For many years, many details surrounding her death and her convicted killer were unknown, but what we’ve now learned is that her death seemed more like a twisted movie drama plot. See why Dee Dee Jackson’s convicted murderer is not what many would have expected.

DETAILS ABOUT THE MAN CONVICTED OF MURDERING TITO’S EX-WIFE

Dee Dee Jackson’s boyfriend, Donald Bohana, was convicted of her murder. From the outside looking in, Bohana’s resume’ doesn’t look like the murderer one might expect:

-He was a prominent businessman who was well respected throughout California.

-He was praised as a hometown hero in 1992 for opening up the first restaurant in Watts, Ca. since the 1965 riots. Bohana famously dubbed his franchise restaurant “Denny’s N’ Da Hood” after created the first Denny’s to ever serve soul food. His restaurant helped rebrand Denny’s image because at that time, the corporation was losing a lot of Black business due to the many discrimination lawsuits for alleged mistreatment of Blacks in their restaurants. Bohana’s location attracted media attention and became a business structure the Denny’s corporation used to boost fledgling sales for 1,504 of their other restaurants at that time.

-Bohana was often in celebrity circles and has been photographed with legends like Sammy Davis Jr., Muhammad Ali, and Stevie Wonder.

-He was a successful insurance executive and he had many other alleged business dealings such as a clothing deal with a Chinese company, a contract to teach aviation in a San Gabriel Valley school district, a bank loan agent and more.

But details on why and how Bohana killed Dee Dee are extremely tragic…

LITTLE KNOWN DETAILS ABOUT DEE DEE JACKSON’S MURDER

Bohana was convicted of second degree murder and sentenced to 15 years to life for killing Dee Dee Jackson at his home.

Dee Dee drowned in Bohana’s swimming pool and her official cause of death was listed as ‘asphyxia due to drowning, alcohol intake, and blunt force traumatic injuries.’ When cops arrived to Bohana’s home in the early morning hours of August 27th, 1994, Dee Dee’s body was completely nude and Bohana (who was also completely nude) had her lifeless body sitting up, propped against a tree in his backyard as he kneeled next to her, according to court documents.

Bohana’s account that she became trapped underwater after getting her hand caught somehow in the deep end of his pool and that he’d tried to pull her out, but couldn’t save her in time, conflicted with her injuries and with reports from paramedics’ findings.

JACKSONS REVEALED ALLEGED MOTIVE

It was alleged that Donald Bohana wanted Dee Dee to extort money from the Jacksons to cover his mounting business debts and became angry when she refused.

Tito’s and Dee Dee’s sons filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Bohana in 1995 and their lawyer, R. Brian Oxman, told Jet Magazine the following statement at that time:

“He (Bohana) owed almost $2 million in debt at the time of her [Dee Dee’s] death. He had assets of $800,000 and he was in severe financial difficulty. He met her two months before her death. When folks meet members of the Jackson family, they automatically think of money,” [stated Oxman]  “We believe that immediately upon her arrival Aug. 26th [1994] around 11:30 p.m. they started arguing. This was a horrendous fight. She had 58 TOTAL INJURIES if you include scratch marks and bruises.”

Tito Jackson’s sons, Taryll (43), Taj (45)and TJ Jackson (41) – also known as the pop group, 3T- are sighing a sigh of relief and trying to recalibrate their emotions after having to endure a painful experience on March 28, 2019. They attended a tense parole hearing for the convicted murderer of their Mother, and have now shared what it was like coming face to face with him.

The hearing was an emotional roller coaster, filled with pain, anger, grief, and hope. The brothers drove three hours to face the killer, with the hopes that the parole board would deny his quest for freedom. All the while, they dealt with the painful reminder of the beautiful soul their Mom’s murderer took from them.

The tragic death of 3T’s mother/Tito Jackson’s wife, Dee Dee Jackson, rocked the entire Jackson family, whom Dee Dee was very close to. For many years, many details surrounding her death and her convicted killer were unknown, but what we’ve now learned is that her death seemed more like a twisted movie drama plot.

Sons’ Reveal Details…

In emotional online posts, Taj and Taryll shared what happened at the March 28th parole hearing.
Taj tweeted:

“Yesterday we had to drive 3 hours away to face my mom’s murderer for his parole hearing. The day was difficult, long, and emotional. But in the end, he was denied parole again 🙏🏽…”

Taryll posted this update on Instagram:

“Very emotional and tough day today. Although the man that murdered my Mother was denied parole, there is no victory or win because nothing will bring her back. To my family, friends and everyone else that called, sent messages, left comments and showed support… I appreciate you. It’s been many years, but it still hurts like yesterday. Your love was really needed and I thank you for being there for me. #deedeejackson #poweroflove #ddjf #domesticviolence”

If there’s one thing about the late Michael Jackson, it’s that the brotha always knew how to live and party lavishly. So much so, that in the final years of his life, he went from residing in a plush penthouse in a Vegas casino/hotel, to living in a lavish nearly $10 million Las Vegas crib, where he raised his kids up until his time of death in 2009. That explains why MJ’s eldest children, Paris (20) and Prince (21), just threw their pops a very expensive and ultra plush posthumous b-day party in a Las Vegas casino for his August 29 birthday.

Tito & Jackie ‘Turn Up’ With The Youngins On MJ’s Birthday

The ‘Michael Jackson Diamond Birthday Celebration’ was poppin,’ according to several guests who attended the event at the Mandalay Bay Casino in Vegas.

Michael’s big brothers, Tito and Jackie Jackson, were also in the building celebrating MJ’s life with Paris and Prince on Wednesday night. As y’all can tell from the pic below, looks like the Jackson 5 icons had a blast in honor of their brother. By the way, can we take a second to acknowledge the fact that they’re out here representing the Old School well?

Can you all believe Jackie is 67 years young and Tito is 64?!! Don’t know where they’re hiding that fountain of youth, but they need to spill the beans…sharing is caring. Anywho, check out what Jackie tweeted about Michael’s 60th celebration:

https://twitter.com/JackieJackson5/status/1035233738857230336

Paris and Prince hit the stage at their dad’s festivity, dressed in all their MJ-inspired glory. Prince rocked a red jacket similar to the one MJ wore in the 90’s. While Paris kept her MJ-esque inspirations to a minimum, with some embellished MJ themed sneakers.

http://gty.im/1025188030

In addition to Tito, Jackie, Paris, and Prince gettin’ their party on, a bunch of other celebs were there, including Diana Ross’ son, Evan Ross, and his wife/singer, Ashlee Simpson. Angela Bassett was there showing off that 60-and-fine-as-wine physique, as was Gabrielle Union, Usher and many more.

http://gty.im/1025187892

Matter of fact, Usher performed for his friend, MJ, and so did the Cirque du Soleil, which performed it’s “Michael Jackson ONE” tribute show.

Guests were treated to a massive amount of Michael Jackson memorabilia and after the event wrapped, the party didn’t stop! They all headed over to a nearby club for the after party. Whew! Jackie and Tito were probably tired as hell after all of that! C’mon now, y’all already know how we, Old Schoolers, do- we’re ready turn IN damn near before the ‘turn UP’ even starts! LOL…but I digress.

At any rate, it was beautiful that Michael’s family and friends put on such a lavish display for what would have been his big 6-0.

In Case You Missed Janet’s MJ Tribute…

https://www.instagram.com/p/BnEWKmHhx8U/

Another family member, Janet, celebrated her brother’s b-day with a bang in her own way. In case y’all missed our prior report, Janet teamed up with popular Instagram stars, Kwaylon Rogers a.k.a. @BlameItOnKway and King Bach, to shoot a 1-minute, 11-second video clip that would have MJ crackin’ up if he were still with us.

Janet graciously allowed Kway and an up and coming director named Diamond Batiste (@diamondbfilms), to direct the video. That was incredibly generous of her because after all, she’s Janet- as in the music icon – as in MJ’s lil’ sister, as in “Penny” from “Good Times”…as in, well…y’all get the point and I’m pretty sure Bach, Kway and Diamond got it too.

In the video clip that Janet shared with her Instagram followers, she recreated the scene from Michael’s “Remember the Time” video. Janet played the queen who sat on her throne and judged the talent presented before her- the original queen was played by supermodel, Iman. Kway and King Bach played the talent that Janet was giving the ‘yay’ of ‘nay’ to. It was hilarious because Kway brought his popular hood-licious Instagram character to the video, while King Bach was the comical cat who tried to talk his way outta getting the boot from Janet. You can watch the video above.

If the iconic Michael Jackson were here right now, he’d be beyond proud of his three children-Prince (20), Paris (19), and Blanket a.k.a. “Bigi” Jackson (15). Not only are they growing into great young people -even in the midst of all of the controversy they inherited with their last name- but they also have their father’s philanthropic spirit.

As they celebrate this year’s Halloween holiday, they did so with a purpose. The three MJ kids, along with Tito Jackson’s three sons (known as 3T), TJ (39), Taryll (42), and Taj Jackson (44), held a Halloween party on Saturday night. The festivities went down at the Encino, Ca. Hayvenhurst home that Mama Katherine and Papa Joe raised all of their Jackson babies in.

Although the Jackson kids were there to have fun, more importantly, they were there to raise funds that will benefit the Dee Dee Jackson Foundation and the Heal Los Angeles Foundation.

At the Jackson Halloween party, Paris and Jackson were dressed for the occasion and had a blast, as Prince gave his lil’ sis,’ a piggy back ride…

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bax2pmDH4f8/

Blanket a.k.a. “Bigi” Jackson, however, played it cool and wore regular clothes, because he worked as one of the crew members for the function. Can you spot him in the photo below?

https://www.instagram.com/p/BazjDkCFbhU/

The party transformed the Jackson family home into an open haunted house for the night and as guests walked through it, they were surprised to see that Prince was actually one of the “monsters” jumping out at them.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bax2CoTF3Ag/

And of course NO Jackson haunted house event would be complete without having MJ’s Thriller album blastin’ through the speakers non-stop! That’s ALL they played during the hours-long event. Cool ain’t it?

The Dee Dee Jackson Foundation is in honor of 3T’s mother, Dee Dee, who was reportedly murdered by her then boyfriend, when the Tito boys were young kids. Dee Dee’s relationship with her boyfriend was said to be an abusive one. That’s why 3T created the foundation in her name, which helps improve the lives of young kids who have suffered great loss.

3T posted their thank you’s to all who came out and shared in the fundraiser.

Heal Los Angeles is an L.A. based organization dedicated to helping end child abuse, hunger, and homelessness. Prince Jackson participates often in their community efforts, as seen below…

Details On Dee Dee Jackson’s Tragic Murder

As we previously reported, Dee Dee Jackson, was murdered on April 27, 1994, reportedly by her boyfriend, Donald Bohana. Bohana was convicted of second degree murder and sentenced to 15 years to life, for killing Dee Dee at his home.

Dee Dee drowned in Bohana’s swimming pool and her official cause of death was listed as ‘asphyxia due to drowning, alcohol intake, and blunt force traumatic injuries.’ When cops arrived to Bohana’s home in the early morning hours of August 27th, 1994, Dee Dee’s body was completely nude and Bohana (who was also completely nude) had her lifeless body sitting up, propped against a tree in his backyard as he kneeled next to her, according to court documents.

Bohana’s account was that she became trapped underwater after getting her hand caught somehow in the deep end of his pool. He’d claimed that he tried to pull her out, but couldn’t save her in time, conflicted with her injuries and also with reports from paramedics’ findings.

It was alleged that Donald Bohana wanted Dee Dee to extort money from the Jacksons to cover his mounting business debts and became angry when she refused. Tito’s and Dee Dee’s sons filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Bohana in 1995 and their lawyer, R. Brian Oxman, told Jet Magazine this at the time:

This was a horrendous fight. She had 58 TOTAL INJURIES if you include scratch marks and bruises.”

As expected, Dee Dee and Tito’s sons have never fully healed from their mother’s death. In a recent Instagram post, son, TJ, explained why that is…

May Dee Dee Jackson continue to rest peacefully. Gone way too soon, but never forgotten by those who mattered most to her- her children, Tito, family and friends.
