Khalil Wheeler-Weaver (born April 20, 1996) is an American serial killer and arsonist. Using the social networking site Tagged, Wheeler-Weaver lured women and girls to secluded locations in Orange, New Jersey, and subsequently strangled them to death throughout late 2016. The Essex County prosecutor's office credited friends of one of the victims with using social media to help police find Wheeler-Weaver. They gained access to her social media accounts, set up a fake account, lured Wheeler-Weaver to a meeting, and notified the police. After a jury found him guilty in 2019, he was convicted of three counts of murder and desecration of human remains, attempted murder, two counts of aggravated sexual assault, aggravated arson and kidnapping, and was sentenced to 160 years in prison, with parole eligible after 140 years. In March 2022, Wheeler-Weaver was charged with the October 2016 murder of 15-year-old Mawa Doumbia. Her remains were found in a house in Orange, New Jersey on May 9, 2019. Doumbia's remains were unidentified for more than two years. Wheeler-Weaver maintained his innocence, claiming he was framed.
