A juvenile man was reported to have been shot just before 5 a.m., and officers were dispatched to a residence in the 200 block of Stinson Avenue to investigate, according to the police. The child was brought to Regions Hospital by the medical staff, but he did not survive his stay there.
n the following days, the Ramsey County Medical Examiner will make public the name of the youngster who passed away as well as the official cause of death. Markee Jones has been positively identified as the child by members of his family. “Markee Jones was a sweet and loving little boy, still a baby, still a baby,” Caniya Fryer said. Markee’s mother is a friend of Fryer’s, according to what she stated. “He is survived by his mother, as well as his relatives, sisters, and brother. It’s just a really unfortunate circumstance that no one in the family wants to have to deal with.
Marilyn Hill, who is Markee’s great-aunt, has stated that she is certain there was not a firearm present inside the house where Markee was murdered. “The house that he got killed at is my sister’s house,” stated Hill. “She was not in attendance. And exactly as she said, this home is a secure haven for those who reside here. This residence does not have any firearms of any kind. We are the people of God.”
Hill continued by saying that she desires for the person who is responsible for bringing the weapon inside the house to surrender themselves up. “All I want you to do and put out there is for him to be a man enough to know that he done something wrong,” said Hill. “I want you to put that out there.” Hill said in reference to The Lion of Judah Armed Forces President Nasiy Nasir X, “They’re welcoming him to come to him, in order for the police to pick him up.” “To just turn himself in they’re welcoming him to come to him,” Hill said. “Our people continue to leave these firearms laying around places, and this continues to show the problem and issues that we have within our community,” Nasir X remarked. “Especially on our home, especially on our children, especially on these houses especially when they’re loaded at that,” she said. “Especially when they’re loaded at that.” We need to make sure that we say something about our people and this continual gun violence that continues to go on, that we do something about it, and that we make changes inside our families and throughout our community.
