Jacari Haskins, a 16-year-old Black male also known as Jacari Joshmere Reynolds, was fatally shot in Roanoke, Virginia, on the evening of June 25, 2023. He had just celebrated his birthday the month before and was described by family as a light to them and to his siblings. His funeral service was held July 7, 2023, at the Temple Of The Way Out in Roanoke, and he was interred at Williams Memorial Park.

Lacking life insurance, the family turned to a GoFundMe campaign to help cover burial expenses. As of late 2025, no arrests have been announced and suspects have not been publicly identified; the investigation remains open.

If anyone has information about Jacari’s death or was in the area on June 25, please come forward.
