Littlerock man charged with killing elderly father

by The AV Times Staff • September 30, 2016

LANCASTER – A 21-year-old man was charged Friday with killing his 84-year-old father at their Littlerock home, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced.

Jedi Makaka Adrian faces one count of murder with the special allegation that the victim was over the age of 60. He was scheduled to be arraigned Friday afternoon at the Antelope Valley courthouse.

The case stems from an incident that occurred on Wednesday, Sept. 28.

Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies responded to an emergency call in the 8800 block of East Avenue T-2 in Littlerock, according to a news release from the Sheriff’s Information Bureau.

“When deputies arrived at the residence, they found 84-year-old Michael Adrian deceased and detained the ‘911’ caller, the victim’s son… Jedi Adrian,” the sheriff’s news release states.

“Deputies discovered signs of a struggle in the home and determined that Jedi Adrian was the suspect in the killing of his father,” the news release states.

An autopsy is pending to determine Michael Adrian’s cause of death, but coroner’s Assistant Chief Ed Winter said  there was possible blunt force trauma to the head.

Bail for Jedi Adrian is scheduled at $2 million. If convicted as charged, he faces a possible
maximum sentence of life in state prison.

The case remains under investigation by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department,
Homicide Bureau.

    What a shame that Mr. Adrian’s life ended so tragically. RIP
    Of course his loser offspring had to sponge of the elderly 84 year old father, instead of having his own residence and helping his dad out. SMH

    R.I.P. Michael. You will forever be missed by my family and I. I’ve never had a neighbor that was as hard working, humble, and strong as you. To me, you were my family. You will forever be in my heart. <3

    Jedi is a space cadet, no pun intended. I believe he is/was on drugs or something traumatic happened to him. Apparently he was not like that in high school when he attended Pete Knight. He would cook for his friends at his house but his old friends think he started using drugs. I personally have seen him spaced out. Let the Justice system determine his guilt.

      I heard he was doing drugs before from one of Michaels house keepers. My family told me he might have had mental problems

    Stories like this are hard because it’s easy to understand the frustration of family but difficult to let it get this bad. Not only is the fathers life gone but so is the young Jedi’s.
    My condolences for the family who’s suffering through all of this.

    He is definitely not a man. Someone needs to talk to the times and inform them that they should change man to bitch.
