A criminal complaint against Jelani Abiola Jernigan, who held off police for several hours from a house at 3807 Aldrich Ave. N., has been released and contains incredible details about what happened. Click here to skip right to a copy of the criminal complaint...
According to the complaint, a male victim whose initials are E.F. got into a verbal altercation with his neighbor, Jelani Jernigan. When the victim walked away, incredibly, Jernigan fired a shot from a shotgun. The victim didn't bother calling police at that time. Police probably rolled right up because of a shot spotter activation, but no arrests were made.
The next day, March 8, the victim was walking home from a friend's house and and was right in front of his own home which is directly in front of Jernigan's house at 3807 Aldrich Ave. N. When Jernigan saw the victim, Jernigan came running out, cursing.
Then Jernigan went back in his own house, got a shotgun, and and fired at the victim twice. Now having apparently reached his limit under the "no snitching" code, the victim went inside his own house and called police, who arrived in force.
Jernigan barricaded himself inside the house and would not obey the orders of police to come out. He could be heard firing multiple gunshots inside the residence and at one point informed officers he would not be taken alive.
When police were sending tear gas inside, Jernigan ran outside and shot at police while they were hunkered down behind an armored vehicle.
Jernigan then ran back inside the residence but I'm guessing the tear gas was too much, because he immediately ran outside and tried to flee on foot. He was apprehended.
It should be noted the defendant has been convicted of a crime of violence and is not allowed to possess weapons.
although I.enjoy reading your blog this is not entirely correct...being a friend of the victim...you make it sound like the victim himself was provoking this event, he was not..this gentleman across the street has a record my friend has none as far as him shooting the night before ...the man across the street has some sort of mental issues according to his parents..he has tried to.assault many people on our block as they try to go to work go about thier daily lives..I dont know what jenali was going through but it was very clear he was mentally unstable and when captured 4 hrs after the 3 rounds of tear gas,as well as being shot in the side or stomach ..he jumped out a side.room window and captured in front of the house across the street.. like I said I enjoy reading your blog....but this one was not correct..
ReplyDeleteIn what fucking world do these people think that it's normal to just go ahead and fire shot fucking guns at their neighbors? Is it the hippity hop, trash tv, what? Fuck them, they need to be chased out of our city.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but in his defense, the guy across the street was bugging him.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the name of the guy across the street? What is the street address of that guy's house? Give me those facts and I will dig into them the best I can.
ReplyDeleteNot every shooting is gang and thug related.
ReplyDeleteSometimes people just lose their shit and some second amendment rights makes for trouble.
To the first commenter: Thanks for your comment and your email. I still don't understand why police weren't called the FIRST time Jelani shot at the victim, and not later when more shots were fired. The responsible thing would have been to call the police. But who is the trouble maker here? Clearly Jelani, and I suspect he will pay for it with years of his life in prison.
ReplyDeleteAnony. 3:34 This guy should not have been allowed to own a gun according to existing state and fed. laws, second amendment or not. BTW, another shooting on Broadway tonight. Why does it seem so many in North "lose their shit" compared to other communities with many more LEGAL guns?
ReplyDeleteI believe the resposible thing to do is aquire a carry and conceal permit and when some shitbag shoots at you, you return fire with far better accuracy because you actually took the time to learn how to use a weapon. Just saying.........
ReplyDeleteThe guy across the street fucking with everyone? Walter Wilmington.
ReplyDeletecareer criminals/un-educated wild animals who are fucking up society and i dont see hispanics lashing out at spaniards so W.T.F.! your grandmas dont even know the shit you give whites a hard time about so blame somebody else like your own sorry excuse riddled asses.
