JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A man who was already sentenced to 50 years in prison for a triple murder in Arlington was given a life sentence Friday in a separate 2022 road rage murder.

Terrell Lewis must serve a minimum of 25 years before he’s eligible for parole on the life sentence, which will run consecutive to his 50-year sentence for killing his girlfriend, Johnisha Williams, her brother, Jordan Williams, and her sister, Jamonica Williams, in an Arlington apartment in 2022.

Lewis pleaded guilty to both the triple murder and to the death of Deja Daniels, who was killed a month before the triple murder in what investigators considered a road rage shooting.

Investigators don’t believe Lewis and Daniels knew each other and said Lewis’ son was in the car with him when he opened fire on Daniels, shooting her twice in the face.

She was found the night of March 21 on Welland Road in a neighborhood near Soutel Drive and U.S. 1.

The earlier 50-year sentence in the triple murder was part of a plea arrangement that the Williams family approved.

Investigators said that after the triple shooting, Lewis took his 8-year-old son from the home, prompting an Amber Alert. Lewis and the boy were later found safe by authorities.
