On the evening of June 10, 2018, 14-year-old Jada Darayona Jones of Rock Hill, South Carolina, was sitting in a driveway on Pinckney Street visiting a friend when a car approached and gunfire erupted. Jada was struck by a bullet and died from her injuries. She attended Rawlinson Road Middle School and the Raven Academy and was described as sweet and outgoing.

Investigators say Jada was an innocent bystander in a gang-related dispute; the intended target was believed to be a young man who lived at the home and had been targeted in earlier shootings. Two suspects were identified: Rapheal Sidique Carter, 21, and Hezekiah Roymel Tinsley, 19. A 9mm handgun alleged to be the weapon was recovered. Both men were arrested the day after the shooting and later pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter, each receiving 25-year prison terms. Jada’s family spoke at sentencing, expressing profound grief and that her life was worth more.

If anyone knew Jada, was at the scene, or has information about that night, please share what you know.
