It was October 17, 2010. I had just left all-night bowling with a couple of my friends at about 3AM. We went out to eat at Eat N\u2019 Park, and we were just enjoying ourselves, having a good time. I got home late and went straight to sleep. My phone rang early that same morning around 7AM. Since I was sleep I didn\u2019t answer, but my phone continued to vibrate after that. I forced myself to wake up and opened up my text messages. My cousin Janai had sent me a text that said, \u201cHey, I need you to call me when you get this. It\u2019s important\u2026\u201d When I called her, there was just silence on the phone. I could tell something was wrong, but I didn\u2019t know exactly what it was. She began to mumble, \u201cJeron\u2026\u201d
Cutting her off, I said, \u201cWhat about him? Didn\u2019t he come home yesterday?\u201d
She began to mumble again, \u201cJeron\u2026 last night\u2026 he got shot up CALU\u2026 at 2AM\u2026
Joslyn, he didn\u2019t make it\u2026\u201d When she told me that, my heart dropped.<\/p>\n

I felt like someone had just ripped out my heart and stepped on it. I was in shock, and I just broke down in tears. My 18 year-old cousin had been murdered over absolutely nothing. Jeron was only shot because a boy was upset he couldn\u2019t get into a homecoming party. He wasn\u2019t even the target; he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.<\/p>\n

Jeron was a person who was never into drugs, gangs, or guns. He was raised right in a Christian family and was probably one of the sweetest people on earth. It\u2019s sad to say that his life was cut short all because of a homecoming party. The hardest thing for me was knowing that this all wasn\u2019t a dream, it was reality. My weekend had gone from entertaining to tragic.<\/p>\n

There were over 2,000 people who attended his viewing and funeral. The mayor of Pittsburgh even came to express his sympathy. CALU and Hampton University both had marches and lit candles for him. All of his family and friends gathered and mourned together. I wish he could\u2019ve seen how much of an impact he had on people. Never in a million years did I think that would happen, especially to someone as innocent Jeron. Violence has gotten out of hand and I wish it would just stop. Unfortunately, I can\u2019t put a stop to it, but if I could I would. \u201cOne out of every twenty-one Black American males will be murdered in their lifetime. Most will die at the hands of another Black male\u201d (Boyz N Tha Hood). <\/p>\n

Jeron\u2019s death has inspired me to stay in school and keep myself out of trouble. It was just a tragic way to die for a person as loving as Jeron. To keep myself from crying now, I think of it as he went on a long trip and won\u2019t be back for a while. Even though I miss him, I\u2019ll see him again. It is going to be difficult not hearing his jokes anymore or seeing his big beautiful smile, but he is in a better place now. I love him and I\u2019ll miss him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
