REWARD MONEY JUSTICE FOR JAMES

Hello my name is Jacqueline Coles I am fundraising to find who shot my son.

On the early morning hours of August 21, 2023 on 116th Wallace in Chicago, Illinois my son was shot down on the street, on his way home. My son went to visit a friend, and on his way home, we were told a car pulled up and start shooting out the car window; my family is looking for justice. We want to raise funds for whomever find this guy or guys who done this to him; I am asking for donation; I'm hoping for more than $20,000 but I will start with that amount! This money is a reward to whoever find the killer or killers; the person has to be picked up and charged and sentence in order to get the funds. {Charges must stick} The tip line is a 24hr hot line; we ask that you find it on your heart to donate towards this cause; any donation will help towards the cause; we just want justice; and once these people caught and sentence the money will go to whoever turn the killers in. The killers families cannot get the money; the people that was involved their families cannot received the money. The family he went to visit cannot received the money. All reward money will be given after the person is sentenced!!

James Coles was 32 years old with a bright future; he has three children; 13, 11 and 1 his fiancé is devasted!

James was an outgoing person, he loved people and everyone knew him; he had a beautiful smile that lit up the room. James brought so much join in our lives, he was an affectionate child, he loved basketball and dancing. Foot working was his life and he like to sing, he love family.

James graduated from high school in 2010 and from their he worked hard for his family. James was not a bad child growing up; he did the small things like not taking out the garbage messing around in school typical teenage things; James didn't give out bad vibes and gave his parents no problems, he was a kid that obeyed his parents. I can honestly say as an adult he lived on all good terms. James enjoyed laughter and his family. He spent a lot of time with his kids; his smile, when he walk in a room, you would know him cause that smile he had lit the entire room up. James made everyone his family; he was passionate about people that needed help. He did not live in the streets, he did not go to the streets for anything or anyone; James has a village behind him; and I'm quite sure whomever shot James did not know him because they would have never did the act. James can go anywhere in Chicago and not have any problems because he was cool with everyone.

The night James died he was dancing and rapping when a speeding car came and changed our lives. James was excited about seeing his daughter graduate from 8th grade; he was excited about seeing his son join the basketball team; and going to his games; he was excited to see his baby learn how to walk and was about to start potty training him, he was excited about taking his kids to school on the first day but that never happened, because somebody took him away from his family. He will not see his baby turn 2; he will not be able to go to no basketball games for his son; he will not see his son talking, walking, potty trained or call him Daddy. He will not be able to hug his mother and check on his other siblings and take trips with them no longer; he will no longer be able to sing happy birthday to his cousins and love on his grandmother because this person took him away from his family.

James was not a trouble maker he did not start fights on the streets, he did not hang out on the streets of Chicago because he knew how dangerous the streets are; James was a great man who took care of his family and cared about his family. We will never be able to see his smile; we will never be able to hear his laugh, tell his jokes or see him dance again. Our family is broken and we want justice for this act on James. I want everyone to know my son name and remember his face; because I don't want my son James passing away in the streets as a number or a statistic; he was Born James William Coles and he died James William Coles.
