She says he was there because they were filming a music video for his cousin who was murdered in 2019. She spoke exclusively with News10NBC’s Stephanie Duprey.
“I can’t sleep, I can’t eat, I’ve been throwing up. I’m just numb,” Cristie Williams said.
Jahkeem, known as “Buddha” in the community, leaves behind four young siblings; his fiancée, Shakeeylaa Moore; and his mother. She says Jahkeem was always dancing and was at the house to help with the music video. She says he was well-liked, and she doesn’t know if he was targeted.
“He liked to dance. He was spontaneous. He always liked to giggle. He wasn’t the type to be out here and all that.”
