A source which, in the past, has been honest and dead-on accurate has identified Jerome Turner as the victim of a homicide on Hillside Ave. N., not far from a previous but apparently unrelated homicide which claimed the life of Johnathon Harris...


A subsequent search using the social media search engine WhoTalking and the term "Jerome Turner" turned up a woman stating her "cousin" Jerome Turner was recently dead, and the link led back to the Facebook profile of the Jerome Turner who is pictured above. It should be noted this information remains unconfirmed except in the two ways stated above. It is theoretically possible the name "Jerome Turner" was floating around and has been mistakenly linked by a cousin to the Jerome Turner pictured above.

But this blog has a track record of getting the names of both victims and alleged killers in front of readers faster than any other media source and will not hesitate to publish at 90 percent likelihood, as long as readers are aware of my openly stated fudge factor. JNS blog wasn't the first one on public social media to say Turner (pictured above) is dead; THAT was his cousin.

Little is known about Turner at the present moment though media reports say the Hillside Ave. N. homicide victim (the latest one) was found dead in the entryway of a home on the 1800 block. However, the source linked above earlier says 2000 block; possibly as a result of newsroom confusion involving the OTHER and EARLIER murder on Hillside Ave. N., who can keep them all straight?

Jerome Turner described himself as employed both at Unique Thrift Store and maintenance at McDonalds. His profile says he "went to" Southside high school. He claimed to be from St. Louis, Missouri and to live in Bloomington. Though his Facebook profile says "Jerome Turner" at present, it appears that it was started under the name "Jenius Breed."

My source says Turner was 35 years old. His profile shows repeated selfies and hints he was some kind of sports enthusiast. He was the father of a son who was 9 years old in June of 2013 so would be about 9 or 10 at present.

There are at least two people on MNCIS named Jerome Turner who are 35 years old. With facts these thin, I care not to venture further until there is more official confirmation.
