Help Us Celebrate Princeton's Short Life

Help Us Honor Princeton Nicholas Jones

We are heartbroken to share the tragic loss of Princeton Nicholas Jones, a bright, loving 9-year-old whose life was taken far too soon. Born in 2015, Princeton was a truly special young man with a brilliant mind and a warm heart. Diagnosed with mild autism at the age of 2, Princeton worked tirelessly with the loving support of his mother and began speaking fluently by the age of 5.

Princeton was a beacon of joy, lighting up every room he entered with his humor and infectious smile. He was adored by his friends, family, and community, who all cherished the incredible person he was becoming.

On November 30, 2024, tragedy struck when Princeton was fatally shot in front of his grandfather’s home on Haskins Avenue and Alondra Boulevard in Compton, CA, at approximately 7:40 PM. This senseless act has left our family devastated and searching for answers as the investigation remains ongoing.

We are reaching out to our community and beyond for support during this incredibly difficult time. All donations will go directly toward funeral expenses and ensuring that Princeton is honored and remembered in a way that reflects the love and joy he brought into this world.

Your help, no matter the size, will mean the world to our family as we navigate this unimaginable loss. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this page with others.

Thank you for helping us celebrate Princeton’s life and ensuring his memory lives on.

With gratitude,

The Family of Princeton Nicholas Jones
