Seven-year-old Jeffery Baby J Taylor of San Antonio, Texas, was found dead in his bedroom on the morning of December 21, 2019, with a family-owned gun present. His parents, Jermaine and LaKeisha Chaney, say Jeffery had been the target of sustained racial bullying at Salado Elementary School, where he was reportedly the only Black student in his class and allegedly called the N-word, Blacky and snaggletooth; classmates also reportedly damaged his shoes and boots. Jeffery came home from school upset on December 20 and told his mother he did not want to return.

San Antonio police classified the death as an accident, while the Chaneys maintain their son died by his own hand because of the bullying he endured. The East Central Independent School District says internal investigations at multiple levels found no evidence to substantiate the bullying allegations. The circumstances remain contested and the family is left without the clarity they seek.

Did anyone in San Antonio know Jeffery, his classmates, or have information about what happened at Salado Elementary in December 2019?
