On the afternoon of December 16, 2022, 17-year-old Jashawn Omar Jones was shot near Interfaith Boulevard in Kalamazoo, Michigan. He was struck by a bullet from a 9mm semi-automatic handgun, taken to a local hospital on life support, and died there on December 22, 2022.

Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety arrested 16-year-old Kahree Louis Compton on December 19, 2022. Compton admitted to the shooting during an interview with detectives. Charges were initially filed as assault with intent to murder while Jones was still alive; after Jones died the charges were amended to one count of open murder and one count of using a firearm to commit a felony. Prosecutors moved to try Compton as an adult through automatic waiver proceedings. Compton was also charged with an alleged attempt to escape from the Kalamazoo County Juvenile Home on December 23, 2022.

The trial against Compton began on June 6, 2023. If anyone knew Jashawn or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
