Jahlin Rashaad Lopez-Jefferson was an 18-year-old from Milwaukee whose life ended in that city on November 16, 2016. Born January 28, 1998, he was the only child of Janet Elayne Lopez and James Lee Jefferson Jr. Family remembrances emphasize his warm heart and unforgettable laugh and note he was raised in the Christian faith at Christ the King Church.

No verified arrest, charge, or court outcome tied to his death is found in the accessible records.

Jahlin’s loss added to family tragedy: his cousin Javon Quezaire Whiteside-Lopez was also killed at age 18 on July 17, 2012, and both cousins are remembered through Javon’s Legacy Farm. If anyone knew Jahlin or has information about what happened on November 16, 2016, please share what you can.
