From the NY Daily News: A Queens mom spoke to her 16-year-old son by phone about 10 p.m. on New Year’s Eve, telling him to stay inside.
“He said that he would,” a tearful Marguerite Tolson-Jackson, 52, told the Daily News.
It was the last time she would hear her boy’s voice. The teen went to hang out with friends and was fatally shot in the neck around 11:30 p.m. Thursday near a pal’s home at Merrick Blvd. and 109th Ave. in Jamaica.
Jihad Jackson became the last murder victim of 2015, a year that saw a 4.5% increase — from 333 to 348 — in homicides. It was the first time the number of murders increased from year to year in New York since 2010. There were 471 homicides in 2009 and 536 in 2010 — a spike of 13.8%.

What mother in her right mind would name her son "Jihad"?
No wonder he was killed at such a young age, his mom and family sentenced him to this outcome.
