A Florida man is behind bars for allegedly breaking into his mother’s home through the dog door to steal from her and stabbing her to death while two kids — including his own daughter — were in the house.
John “Jake” Aylor, 37, is facing charges of first-degree murder while engaged in burglary and armed burglary in the death of his 64-year-old mother Julie Aylor. Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister said John Aylor broke into his mother’s home in Brandon, in eastern Tampa, shortly after 4:30 a.m. Monday.
Officials say that Aylor had a history of entering his mother’s home without permission.
“He has done so on several occasions,” said Chronister. “He will break in in the middle of the night and steal whatever he can get his hands on. This is a mother who has been taking care of his child since she was born 10 years ago. So as he’s been in and out of jail since 2003, she’s been the caregiver. She’s been the person who his daughter can rely on as her guardian, as the person who makes sure that she has the basic essentials in life.”
Chronister said John Aylor was upset there was nothing in the home he deemed worthy to steal, so he armed himself with a knife and walked into his mother’s room where an argument ensued. He then allegedly stabbed his mother once in the chest. His 10-year-old daughter and the victim’s 16-year-old granddaughter, who was also staying in the home, woke up to their grandmother’s screams for help.
“She’s now begging her son, the very person who just fatally stabbed her, as she’s dying, and pleading for him to help her,” Chronister said. “‘Jake, help me. Jake, help me.’ That’s what these poor children wake up to last night. She’s panicking. She’s dying. She needs help, desperately.”
Julie Aylor then crawled to the teenager’s room to get help, Chronister said. The teenager called 911 and cops rushed to the home. Paramedics arrived and pronounced Julie Aylor dead on scene.
John Aylor ran away before cops got there. A concerned citizen called cops on Tuesday about his location and they arrested him around 4 a.m. in the 900 block of Marjorie Avenue in Brandon. Deputies took him to the Hillsborough County Jail where he remains without bond.

According to Chronister, John Aylor is addicted to drugs and has been arrested over 20 times since 2003. Arrests include grand theft of a motor vehicle, felony petit theft and possession of a controlled substance.
“Today, we have taken a significant step towards justice with the arrest of the individual responsible for the tragic and violent stabbing that took the life of an innocent woman,” Chronister said in a statement. “Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with the victim’s family during this challenging time. We remain committed to ensuring that those who commit such heinous acts are held accountable.”
Tampa Fox affiliate WTVT spoke with Julie Aylor’s 16-year-old granddaughter, who was in the home at the time and called 911.
“She just wanted me to help her,” Jaylynn Blair told the outlet with tears streaming down her face. “I couldn’t help her.”
Julie Aylor’s daughter Kristina Blair said she can’t forgive her brother.
“He acted like he had no remorse, he didn’t care that he killed my mom,” she told the outlet. “He took my mom from not only me — my daughter, grandkids, great-grandkids, sisters, brothers. She loved everybody. She took care of everybody.”
Things have to go back to the way it was before the Beatles and Charles Manson got here. If people were tried convicted and hung 48 hours after their murder trial. You would see a drop in crime. If you castrated pedophilia pederasty sodomy and rape. This crime would cease to be on our books. Death for drug dealers would clean up America. The ignorance is staggering. That love Peace and Happiness bull scheit never worked. States should be in charge of Abortions. The Government`s job is to protect our borders look what a mess they made of that. Our Government has too much power. If you have noticed. Everything that they touch turns into a money grab.
No need for a trial.He took a life .He should receive the same that he gave to his mothet
I do not understand why the POS drug addict thief was runninng around free. He should have been in prison for his other crimes. Or at least in a mandatory rehab situation. His biggest need is for help with his drug addiction. If he had broken the addiction, he would probably not have committed murder.
This pod should be sentenced to death. There is no reason taxpayers should support his worthless ass. How does anyone end up killing their mother for drug money? Seriously give him death since there isn’t anyone who would miss him.
If mom had a crystal ball, she could have aborted this POS and saved herself a life of grief!!!
I thought the same thing. They should make abortion legal after birth for trash like this.
