jahnaijackson: At 18, I never thought I would be graduating.. then have to turn around and bury my little brother. This year has been very full of blessings then comes the tragedy I'll never get over. My brother Raheem Jackson was murdered on May 27th just hours after we enjoyed prom together. He would never get to see me walk across stage and prepare for college because his young life was taken from him at just 16. If you have siblings, please hold them tight. I miss mine 💔💔💔💔💔💔.I looked at my post over and over , blanking out questions that the detectives were asking me.
"Ms. Jackson?"
"Yes?"
"Tell me about Raheem"
"Raheem was a 16 year old basketball player who lived in the projects. He was the best player in the city and had many opportunities heading his way. He also was spoiled like myself and rocked any name brand you could think of. He had a way with the females. Just to add, My mom had just bought him a car. "
"Do u have any idea on who could have killed your brother?"
"Honestly no, he seemed very well liked"
"Do you think somebody may have killed him out of jealously?"
"I don't know, I don't know get that theory "
"Okay well we do. Do you know who this person is?"
A photo of Dayvon was presented in front of me.
"Yes that's my boyfriend"
"Interesting. Does your boyfriend have an alibi for the night your boyfriend died?"
"Yes! He was with me that night!"
"Ms. Jackson, girls tent to take cover for their boyfriends as the time. But do what's right and get justice for not only Raheem but for your father.."
I looked at the detective confused.
"Excuse me?"
"Your father was murdered over 10 years ago correct?"
"Yes"
"Mr. Dayvon has been getting charged for crimes since he was a young boy. I believe if you help us , justice will be served for them both"
"Detective Jones, I didn't even know Dayvon when he was a kid. Also my father's death didn't go unsolved, I thought his homeboy which was my godfather had killed my dad?"
