Isaiah Ramos-Bostwick, 16, was fatally shot early Thursday, January 15, 2026, inside a home in the 500 block of Harris Street in Jackson, Michigan. He was taken to Henry Ford Jackson Hospital but died of a gunshot wound to his face. Isaiah was an 11th-grade student at Jackson Public High School who enjoyed football and wrestling and had hoped to become a rapper.

Police say two juveniles fled the scene on foot. A Jackson County Sheriff’s Office K9 tracked them to a residence in the 1300 block of Leroy Street, where a perimeter was set and both were taken into custody without incident. A 13-year-old was taken to the Jackson County Youth Center and is being held on allegations including First-Degree Premeditated Murder, Felony Murder, Armed Robbery, Larceny of a Firearm, and Felony Firearm; because of his age, Michigan law bars charging him as an adult and the matter will proceed in Family Court. The other juvenile, 15, was released to a parent. The investigation is ongoing.

Anyone who knew Isaiah or has information about what happened that night is asked to come forward.
