Help lay Jorge Batres to rest and get JUSTICE

With permission from his mom I have decided to do this

My nephew was found murdered yesterday in St.Paul. He was just 17 years old with his whole life in front of him. He was well mannered  never been in trouble was a great son brother and uncle. He didn’t deserve this . He would never hurt or bother anyone and someone had to be so selfish to take his life. At this point we do not know details surrounding the case but their were witnesses who called 911 and reported seeing a male running from the scene and police have taken that suspect into custody for questioning. 


A little about Jorge. He was 17 years old and was excited to be turning 18 in November. He was the second child of Krìsty and Manuel and was spoiled to the core by them. He was super attached tohis mom when he was young that he litterally had to go everywhere with her and always hugging and cuddling. He was such a mommies boy. When he was little he loved to play soccer and excelled at it early on. He was so smart had a sence of humor and a great pout face when he didn’t get his way lol. He has a big sister Nikila and they were best friends. She was always protective of him and now is devastated at the fact that he had just dropped her off and said he will be right back and she blames herself for just not riding with and protecting him. And believe me we know it’s not her fault. Jorge was also a big brother to Oriana and always made sure she was protected as his big sister had always done for him. Oriana loved that Jorge would play with her and spend time with her even being a 17 yo boy And such an age gap it never mattered as he always made time for her.

Jorges mom Krìsty worked for a bank that relocated to Minnesota so she decided to uproot her family from South Dakota to Minnesota for a better opportunity for her kids and her job and everyone was excelling with their new surroundings until this. Which all came as a shock because they really don’t know many people there as Krìsty works a lot and Jorge was the type who stayed home a lot. He loved to camp And  fish. He enjoyed playing his xboxand watching YouTube videos. You know the normal teen boy things. And he absolutely loved his dog! He was just your average teen boy so this makes it even more devastating! 


we are raising the funds for funeral costs and missed time at work for his mother so she can attempt to process everything that transpired overnight and to get counseling for her and her girls. 


to end this I know times are tough for everyone but even a dollar would help. And if that is impossible please share and add this family to your prayers! 


Jorge we will always love you ! You didn’tdeserve this and we will get you justice I promise! You will never be forgotten please watch over your mom and sisters while your up there. They need you. 


love auntie
