Memorial Service for Jermiah Jester

Gratitude everyone my Name is Stephanie Joseph I am raising funds for my Son Jermiah Jester Memorial who was killed in Milwaukee Wisconsin on May 15, 2024…

A neighbor TMJ4 spoke to anonymously says he opened the door to his home near 44th and Center around 2 a.m. to find police looking for answers.

"I heard gunshots, then shortly after police show up knocking on doors trying to get information," the neighbor said.

After the officers left, the neighbor told TMJ4 he went to work before realizing he had left his wallet at home. He then circled back home to retrieve it.

He went to his backyard to search for it when he found something else far worse.

"I thought it was a drunk person in my yard," he recalled. "And I'm like, 'Why is there a person here?' until I got a little closer and saw the blood on the abdomen area."

He saw the body of a 17-year-old who was shot overnight, on a pile of branches in the corner of his yard.

The 17-year-old was later identified on Thursday by the Milwaukee Medical Examiner's office as Jermiah J. Jester.

I thank you all in advance for your support
