Earlier this year, the family lost Jamarion Barnes’ younger brother to gun violence. Loved ones were already grieving Jelijah Barnes’s death when Jamarion Barnes was killed.in a neighborhood in the Chimney Lakes area.“I was just so torn up by that and the fact that his parents have lost both of their sons,” Nelson said. “I don’t think any parent could imagine not just losing one child — but two — in such a short time frame. It’s horrible. It’s heartbreaking.”She said the brothers were close.
“You would most of the time see them together,” Nelson said. “People sometimes would think they were twins because they were so close in age, but they were very very close.”“The last time, unfortunately, I was able to give him a hug was at Jelijah’s funeral,” Nelson said. “It still hurts knowing that they’re gone.”“In both cases, I hope that somebody speaks up or they do find somebody and hold them responsible,” Nelson said.
