What began as an ordinary morning ended in heartbreak for an entire community.

📍 A City Wakes to Tragedy
In Monroe, the calm was shattered when gunfire stole the lives of Jaborris Simpson, his two-year-old daughter Jhersi Simpson, and their friend Jamal Bosley. In moments, a family’s future—and a child’s tomorrow—were taken away.

👨‍👧 A Father Defined by Love
Jaborris was known as a quiet, gentle man whose world revolved around his little girl. Fatherhood came naturally to him—every step guided by care, patience, and devotion. Friends say his pride in Jhersi was unmistakable, his love unwavering.

🌸 A Little Girl Who Lit Every Room
Jhersi was joy in motion—tiny footsteps, bright laughter, and an infectious smile that warmed every space she entered. Adored deeply by her parents, she was a radiant soul whose presence stitched happiness into everyday moments. In just two short years, she gave a lifetime of love.

🕊️ A Friend Remembered
Jamal Bosley was more than a companion that morning—he was family by choice. His loss adds another layer of sorrow to a tragedy that has left loved ones searching for words.

💔 Grief That Echoes Beyond One Family
As news spread, Monroe paused. Candlelight vigils, tears, and embraces marked a community struggling to understand how such senseless violence could steal so much, so quickly.

⚖️ Waiting for Justice, Holding onto Love
While justice may take time, the memories of Jaborris’s gentle strength, Jhersi’s boundless joy, and Jamal’s friendship endure. Their lives are not defined by how they ended, but by the love they shared.

🕯️ A Legacy That Will Not Fade
In the quiet that follows tragedy, one truth remains: love outlives violence. And though hearts are broken, the light these three brought into the world will never be extinguished.
