Jayz Agnew, 13, died in a hospital Friday evening, his mother Juanita Agnew said
The shooting happened around 5:20 p.m. in the Hillcrest Heights area. Police have not said if Jayz was targeted, nor have they made an arrest in his shooting.“My greatest fear is my son will not get justice,” she said.“My house is in close proximity to the elementary school so this could have happened to any of the neighborhood children,” she said.“Our son Jayz was senselessly shot in the head while raking leaves in our front yard. Our Jayz is a loving gentle child.
Agnew described Jayz as an eighth-grader who spent most of his time playing video games or hanging out with Aaliyah, 6. The siblings found stray cats in their shed last year and decided to raise them together. Jayz named his Dawn, and Aaliyah named hers Lily. The four like to cuddle together on the couch.
“We have to spread more awareness on gun control and better surveillance in the community,” Agnew said.
