Just starting this documentary & my own inquiry off the bat I have doubts!! The DNA was inconclusive first Round- that Speaks volume. Then surveillance was everywhere & this could not clear Jackson or convict him. Feels wrong- off from the beginning. I “Feel” Someone was with him- someone who knew him- someone who was upset! Now to watch this documentary!!!!
Poor baby you can see him in the video constantly looking around and then there was a moment where he started fast pacing as if he knew that guy was following him 😔 I wish somebody could of saved his life
So did I , I'm 55 now but never ever thought anything like that wld happen. I' was a girl & wasn't scared at all but I won't walk down a public street by myself now
I walked to school - only 2 blocks... From Kindergarten forward. The thought that something could happen SO CLOSE to home really breaks my heart. I'm 47 now, but I remember daydreaming as I beebopped home. You could have abducted me and I wouldn't have known it, I was always off in dream land walking home. This is terrible.
@@kathyollis7037Well hate to tell you this but bad stuff has been happening, just because you didn't hear about it then but trust me it was happening.
Exactly what I just said out loud, 5 YEARS???? Seriously….should be LIFE PERIOD and I’m glad it was! Justice for Josue!!! RIP little one, you were headed for a prosperous future but that was ripped away by an evil narcissist who will rot in hell and be forgotten, while you will always be remembered and celebrated ❤ 🙏🏼
Unfortunately it's the way the law is written that allows for the possibility of 5yrs, nobody has ever gotten only 5yrs, it's the starting minimum, it's stupid I know but it's just the way it's written, a lot of states have that same starting time.
Why! Why would he do this to a young child! The Prosecutor was right, there is no explanation that would ever make sense. Dear little lad, I’m so sorry you crossed paths with this monster.
It's particularly terrifying that Andre Jackson *seems* like a perfectly nice guy. If I ran into him, I don't think I'd be scared or sense anything "off" about him. Just goes to show that we NEVER know what's going on in someone's mind. We can't tell by appearances who to trust. That is so, so scary to me.
If somebody was innocent they would be highly emotional, angry and pissed to be accused of killing a child. You can, always tell right away that these freaks are lying. What a monster, wow. Rip Josue
I found this very moving, the loss of a young life in such a violent way, the effect it had on Josue's family and the community is so sad. Watching the killer being found guilty and sentenced to life after 7 years is a testament to the Police and Attorneys Office who never gave up, it is heart warming to see the whole community come together to keep their children safe sends out a warning to anyone wanting to harm to any child in the community, and what a great way of honouring the memory of Josue.
Oh man, I’m so glad Josue got justice. But what boggles my mind is why this man would do this act for no reason. It’s not he was trying to rob him or kidnap him. Blows my mind!
The killer's reason/motivation is very obvious actually! At least to me… I'm very surprised that Police didn't investigate his background and his extended family/life background… I am sure he was, in his sick twisted mind, "avenging" someone he loved or cared for that had been hurt by a "Latino" male. So the sick man committed this horrendous depraved murder as payback for some innocent life that has been taken by someone who is of South American descent. So in his sick perverse mind, he was fully justified! As in "an eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth". Of course, that's not how it works, but his mind and heart must be damaged by years of sinful ungodly lifestyle and demonic possession… I'm sure the boy's soul went up to be with the Lord! Because that's incomparably better for anyone anyways… Not so sure if Andre's soul is capable of repenting and being absolved though… I guess we'll soon enough. Peace be onto everyone.
@@availanilaI think I agree with you more and some people are cowards enough to only go for victims they know they can over power. That’s why some people will only target children, old people or women.

It is unbelievably hard to understand the fact that such a big and important state (Texas) did not have an advanced enough laboratory to correctly test DNA.

This poor sweet boy! I used to walk home from school at his age & younger. My dad asked me to go get a couple things at grocery store one Friday afternoon on my bike. This was a normal activity for me when I visited him on weekends. I started out my normal route which took me by the middle & high schools. As I rode past noticed a man riding his bike around parking lot. He then started following, I had already sensed bad coming off of him. I rode as fast as I could back to my dad's via a couple of short cuts, got there & started yelling for my dad saying a man was following me. My dad always had guns, in the house & vehicle. He hopped in his truck ,armed & went searching fir him. I was shaking & so freaked. I knew I had dodged being hurt. He came back, never found him, I'm pretty sure my dad would have hurt hin, ended him or take him up to his friends place deep in the woods. After that I had a difficult time staying at his house, knowing that guy could come back. Kids nowadays are looking at their phones, having ear buds in, no situational awareness. RIP sweet soul😢💜🕊🌌🙏
My heart is saddened for Josue and his family. I pray that someday, they can find peace. My family has lost their own children before and it's heartbreaking, but for a family to lose an innocent child to violence is so much worse. I was also heartbroken when watching the story of two-yr. old Riley, who was murdered by her stepfather and mother. You all are incredible investigative reporters whose passion for speaking for the victims and respecting them is highly commendable. I'm glad I stumbled across your channel and have subscribed. Thank you!
Thankyou for honouring his memory with such compassion and professionalism. Seeing how much those involved in these cases are impacted shows why they do what they do. Another life taken too soon and a family changed forever 😢 RIP little man and I am sorry and send love and light to all affected by this 😢😢😢❤❤❤
It's an absolute nightmare you neVer awaken from to lose your child...I endure this nightmare constantly! This young man could've found the cure for cancer, AIDS, etc...? RiP, mijo.... along with my precious bambino, my mijo (son), Gio! ❤
I can really appreciate the emotion 8n these men. This is a brutally horrific nightmare that can happen to anyone at anytime and pobrecito Josue y nuestra familia. I see the empathy in these mens faces N can see they grew to love Josue N his family but are also hurting ... May the Lord keep U close in his arms... Amen.
I'm definitely Jackson, but how do you stab someone 20 times and not get a substantial amount of blood on you? Such close contact and the first DNA test is inconclusive? Stabbing is very up close and personal. It's messy. I'm really puzzled.
I don’t know if he did it. I have serious doubts. He wouldn’t have been able to get the DNA off. He would have had it on his clothes, too. Also, he demeanor when questioned… he was genuinely baffled.
All I can say about that is that they did say that the jacket material was the type to not hold dna, so it could have been wiped down but I really don't know
@@mimidelosreyes6405 I don’t know either… if you stab someone, there is blood splatter that would have gotten all over his shirt and pants… possibly under his fingernails. Regardless of the material that the jacket was made of, it would have been caught in the threads at the seams.. in the cuffs, probably in the lining. These cops seem to be reaching. They got tunnel vision and decided he had to have done it. Explore ALL possibilities… don’t let your assumptions blind you… that’s what I would tell them. Whoever killed that little boy walked free-whether it was this guy or someone else-because of their shoddy work.
This is horrific!!! Poor baby innocent baby just walking home from school ion understand how someone could harm such innocence!!!! He already knew he wanted to be a physician, and to be so young he was working towards that goal? He should still be here!
I,m watching this Program , it sure touches people hearts Looking at those detective hes holding back the hurt , , They see lots , they hold tears , but inside tey also hurt inside ,.Police do have big hearts
I remember when this happened and I followed up on it for a little while. I had no idea that there was a conviction. My heart breaks so much for that little boy and his family. I have a son As well who will be 18 this month. And I can just imagine the hopes and dreams that this little boy had that were absolutely destroyed By this psychopath
This creeper wanted to get Joshua to a 2nd location, and words were exchanged, he didn't want the boy to tell. My guess is sexually motivated, animal needs to be caged for life, he will do this again. Rest Till Paradise 🌺 Handsome young Latino King. Never Forgotten 🫂🙏🏽💙 warm condolences to the entire Familia Flores
King ? What's with certain communities that call their boys kings or princes and girls queens and princesses ? It's really cringe, maybe there's a complex that's y'all have and need to reinforce damaged Ego's, either way it's ridiculous
@@susand9296 Remember the justice system in America have convicted innocent people (black) Men to close a case later on exonerated. Can you explain that? Even Recently the years with advanced DNA???
@@susand9296 It's in the news and they had to pay them money for wrong being convicted for a crime they did not commit. So save the oh he looks like he didn't do it. Why would this man kill a child he don't know in broad daylight for no reason? I think someone that knows the family did it. The truth will eventually come out. They blamed another black guy who was working at the time. If it wasn't for the cameras at his job they would of put on him...
Idk guys. As much as I want to believe the correct killer is/was caught. I can't feel sure about this. They arrested one man at first -man had NOTHING to do and was no where near the murder. Now they arrest this dude and have to release Him because the DNA wasn't correct 🤦♀️ Something about this just doesn't feel right. WHY ????
The dns was correct, the equipment the state had was technically modern enough to detect the DNA that was on the Jacket at that time, a few years later advancements were made and they were able to detect the blood on the Jacket
@@aliamjon2550 ok I hope it's right and this man is proven innocent years later. Why in the world of all people he would kill this innocent child in broad daylight? And a witness said he chased him down in his car so how could you lose him jogging to the train station? It just don't make no sense. I think someone knew the family did this for revenge. I think they framed him to close the case. They blamed another man. Thank God he was at work with a alibi they would have blamed a innocent man for this crime. American Justice system is corrupt so many innocent black men are being free by advanced DNA blamed for crimes they didn't do just to close the case....
@@mslove7798 First of all, American justice is the fairest in the world, and it's a system people wish they had which is why so many come here, Second, you got some of this case wrong, nobody chased the killer, they described him clearly, and he wasn't at work, he was with other people at a store during the killing, And lastly, please explain how this killer got blood the boys blood on his jacket ?
I don't think that they have the right man. They wanted someone, he was there and they 📌 him. That DNA testing once and inconclusive and a second time being conclusive? The guy was maybe running for the 🚌. It's also important to convict the right person
That's actually not what happened. Are you just being adversarial because you don't trust the justice system? Charges were dropped initially. Then refiled when the evidence was more conclusive.
I just dont know that they got it right. So he was seen leaving the area but the thing is i don't see anything else that could say he killed the kid. If he supposedly wiped the blood off the jacket then what did he wipe it off with and since he was putting the jacket on does that mean he had it off when he stabbed thw boy so which is it. He didnt seem to have any blood on his clothes either. If i were the famiky i wouldnt be too happy about this verdict. I'd be pisssed that whoever killed my kid got away with it.
@@KPRC2Click2HoustonSo terribly sad! I wish this young man could have become a Dr. I bet he would have been a very compassionate kind Dr.!! Breaks my heart for his family!💔💔💔
This case doesn’t add up ! The police never collected shoes clothing or searched for dna on joshus backpack clothes or body. I think it’s another child who stabbed him and the police wanted to cover it up ! 🤷♀️
Well apparently you didn't pay any attention to the video, they said the motive was racial and the DNA was strong, how else would the guy get the boys blood on his jacket ? How is that weak ?
@@mariawestman9026 If another child stabbed him why wasn't there any video of other kids running around there covered in blood ? Explain why the guy had the boys blood on the sleeve of his jacket ?
Bet that officer that arrested him in the first place was going crazy all those years. He KNEW this child killer was guilty. He soft too, don't trust those mfs around your children.
13:50 I’m sorry but that doesn’t seem like enough probable cause to arrest an innocent man for murder. Because he “kinda” fit the description. They tarnished his reputation for nothing.
Dang the lady who noticed the knife in the gutter and called it in is incredibly astute. I don’t think most people would even notice, much less be mindful enough to put two and two together and call it in as potential evidence.
How can you live a normal life knowing you killed an defenseless innocent kid 20 times... I still don't understand what kind of monster you are... They waited 6yrs to have justice...
Some homeless people commit crimes to get into prison: three meals a day, roof over their heads, healthcare and no bills to worry about... Not sure if that was the motive as I haven't seen the entire episode but heard others say Andre was homeless. Evil doesn't operate by morals or rules.
There’s so much evil in this world,, to get them off the streets. It takes an innocent person that they have killed, and that is a real shame… but you can’t stop what you don’t know..
As a mama of a 12 yr old i cant imagine this families pain and dont want too. But vids like this make me so much more aware of the true evil out there as im someone who sees the best in anyone but try to teach my son to be aware of his surroundings at all times and sadly he thinks hes invincible and can fight off the worst of the worst. I pray safety for him anytime he leaves home. Prayers for this babies family 🙏💔🕊 Fly High with Jesus lil man
this case has always haunted me, that poor boy so close to safety yet so far. I don't understand how anyone could murder a child and also why he did not get the death penalty.
So they spent all that time on the 1st person they saw. And the color means nothing to me. while the real killer had time to get home change clothes hide the knife.
If I remember correctly they arrested him because he fit the description, and also if I remember correctly they quickly checked his story and released him, There's a 11 year murdered by a adult in broad daylight, in a perfect world the authorities would be there arresting the murderer right after it happened, or Better yet in perfect world the boy wouldn't be murdered

I rode as fast as I could back to my dad's via a couple of short cuts, got there & started yelling for my dad saying a man was following me. My dad always had guns, in the house & vehicle. He hopped in his truck ,armed & went searching fir him. I was shaking & so freaked. I knew I had dodged being hurt. He came back, never found him, I'm pretty sure my dad would have hurt hin, ended him or take him up to his friends place deep in the woods. After that I had a difficult time staying at his house, knowing that guy could come back. Kids nowadays are looking at their phones, having ear buds in, no situational awareness.
RIP sweet soul😢💜🕊🌌🙏
My heart is saddened for Josue and his family. I pray that someday, they can find peace. My family has lost their own children before and it's heartbreaking, but for a family to lose an innocent child to violence is so much worse. I was also heartbroken when watching the story of two-yr. old Riley, who was murdered by her stepfather and mother. You all are incredible investigative reporters whose passion for speaking for the victims and respecting them is highly commendable. I'm glad I stumbled across your channel and have subscribed. Thank you!
Rest In Peace little doctor May your family and friends find healing and peace blessings be
Dr. Flores 😢 respectively...
Thankyou for honouring his memory with such compassion and professionalism. Seeing how much those involved in these cases are impacted shows why they do what they do. Another life taken too soon and a family changed forever 😢 RIP little man and I am sorry and send love and light to all affected by this 😢😢😢❤❤❤
I cannot imagine little Josue's screams, his fear, thinking and crying for his mom.... oh God😭
There is No WHY to EVIL and that is a scary thing because EVIL is everywhere. RIP Josue justice has been served here on earth. 🙏
Such a senseless act of violence taking an innocent child’s life for nothing heartbreaking, rest in eternal peace sweetheart ❤
It's an absolute nightmare you neVer awaken from to lose your child...I endure this nightmare constantly! This young man could've found the cure for cancer, AIDS, etc...? RiP, mijo.... along with my precious bambino, my mijo (son), Gio! ❤
I can really appreciate the emotion 8n these men. This is a brutally horrific nightmare that can happen to anyone at anytime and pobrecito Josue y nuestra familia. I see the empathy in these mens faces N can see they grew to love Josue N his family but are also hurting ... May the Lord keep U close in his arms... Amen.
Josue was continually looking across the road as he was walking.....i wonder if it was the person about to muder him that he was watching 😔
😢😢😢😢😢 RIP Sweetheart. You didn't deserve this, 😭😭. Peace and healing for everyone 😢😢
I'm definitely Jackson, but how do you stab someone 20 times and not get a substantial amount of blood on you? Such close contact and the first DNA test is inconclusive? Stabbing is very up close and personal. It's messy. I'm really puzzled.
I don’t know if he did it. I have serious doubts. He wouldn’t have been able to get the DNA off. He would have had it on his clothes, too. Also, he demeanor when questioned… he was genuinely baffled.
All I can say about that is that they did say that the jacket material was the type to not hold dna, so it could have been wiped down but I really don't know
@@mimidelosreyes6405 I don’t know either… if you stab someone, there is blood splatter that would have gotten all over his shirt and pants… possibly under his fingernails. Regardless of the material that the jacket was made of, it would have been caught in the threads at the seams.. in the cuffs, probably in the lining. These cops seem to be reaching. They got tunnel vision and decided he had to have done it. Explore ALL possibilities… don’t let your assumptions blind you… that’s what I would tell them. Whoever killed that little boy walked free-whether it was this guy or someone else-because of their shoddy work.
What if he wasn't wearing the jacket during attack? As video shows he checked hands before putting jacket back on.
@@vojo1461are the detectives saying a man looked at his hands is proof of conclusive evidence?
Wat a beautiful child....I'm so so sorry for his family. Prayers n love to you all. 😔❤🙏🙏
This is horrific!!! Poor baby innocent baby just walking home from school ion understand how someone could harm such innocence!!!! He already knew he wanted to be a physician, and to be so young he was working towards that goal? He should still be here!
Completely tragic and senseless! 😢 a child, he killed a child 💔
I don’t think I’ve heard a case like this that’s touched me so deeply!
It’s beyond my simple understanding that true evil roams this ugly world .. I’m beyond words. Prayers to The Flores Family 🙏
This planet is such a dangerous place, full of evil!
I will never forget this tragedy 💔.
Evil took a beautiful soul with a great future and no one will see that smile again 😢
I,m watching this Program , it sure touches people hearts Looking at those detective hes holding back the hurt , , They see lots , they hold tears , but inside tey also hurt inside ,.Police do have big hearts
I remember when this happened and I followed up on it for a little while. I had no idea that there was a conviction. My heart breaks so much for that little boy and his family. I have a son As well who will be 18 this month. And I can just imagine the hopes and dreams that this little boy had that were absolutely destroyed By this psychopath
These shows are so good. I can't stop watching them.
Were we shown all of the evidence they have? I'm not sure if I was sitting on that jury if I could vote guilty with that slim evidence.
Thank God you weren’t part of the jury! There was more than enough proof that he was killed by that monster.
Every child is so dear and presses , a family’s Innocent pure gift from our Father God . How evil it is to hurt or kill a beautiful innocent child .
I cried like a baby watching this case.
😢same
So sad..i pass threw there everytime n i just cant imagine someone could do that to him smh
It is completely unimaginable and heartbreaking. Thank you for watching.
Some people are just so evil.. poor little boy 😢
This story hurts my ❤️. He had so much potential and I believe he would have worked his hardest to become the doctor he wanted to be❤
My deepest condolences to his love one's. Vengeance is mine saith the Lord.
AMEN
Amen
This creeper wanted to get Joshua to a 2nd location, and words were exchanged, he didn't want the boy to tell. My guess is sexually motivated, animal needs to be caged for life, he will do this again. Rest Till Paradise 🌺 Handsome young Latino King. Never Forgotten 🫂🙏🏽💙 warm condolences to the entire Familia Flores
King ? What's with certain communities that call their boys kings or princes and girls queens and princesses ? It's really cringe, maybe there's a complex that's y'all have and need to reinforce damaged Ego's, either way it's ridiculous
@@aliamjon2550 ur comment was cringe
@@UrbanOutlaw713
How so exactly ?
Idk maybe I need more information but I dont think this guy did it. RIP Josue I hope there was justice for you.
Same.. I don't feel this man did it.
Agree
The evidence was irrefutable. Just because he seems 'normal' to you, remember, still waters can run the deepest.
@@susand9296 Remember the justice system in America have convicted innocent people (black) Men to close a case later on exonerated. Can you explain that? Even Recently the years with advanced DNA???
@@susand9296 It's in the news and they had to pay them money for wrong being convicted for a crime they did not commit. So save the oh he looks like he didn't do it. Why would this man kill a child he don't know in broad daylight for no reason? I think someone that knows the family did it. The truth will eventually come out. They blamed another black guy who was working at the time. If it wasn't for the cameras at his job they would of put on him...
Idk guys. As much as I want to believe the correct killer is/was caught. I can't feel sure about this. They arrested one man at first -man had NOTHING to do and was no where near the murder.
Now they arrest this dude and have to release Him because the DNA wasn't correct 🤦♀️
Something about this just doesn't feel right. WHY ????
Exactly
The dns was correct, the equipment the state had was technically modern enough to detect the DNA that was on the Jacket at that time, a few years later advancements were made and they were able to detect the blood on the Jacket
@@aliamjon2550 ok I hope it's right and this man is proven innocent years later. Why in the world of all people he would kill this innocent child in broad daylight? And a witness said he chased him down in his car so how could you lose him jogging to the train station? It just don't make no sense. I think someone knew the family did this for revenge. I think they framed him to close the case. They blamed another man. Thank God he was at work with a alibi they would have blamed a innocent man for this crime. American Justice system is corrupt so many innocent black men are being free by advanced DNA blamed for crimes they didn't do just to close the case....
@@mslove7798
First of all, American justice is the fairest in the world, and it's a system people wish they had which is why so many come here,
Second, you got some of this case wrong, nobody chased the killer, they described him clearly, and he wasn't at work, he was with other people at a store during the killing,
And lastly, please explain how this killer got blood the boys blood on his jacket ?
so frikn sick how some ppl think..
I don't think that they have the right man. They wanted someone, he was there and they 📌 him. That DNA testing once and inconclusive and a second time being conclusive? The guy was maybe running for the 🚌. It's also important to convict the right person
That's actually not what happened.
Are you just being adversarial because you don't trust the justice system?
Charges were dropped initially. Then refiled when the evidence was more conclusive.
Shorter intro would be great but I love these videos!
I just dont know that they got it right. So he was seen leaving the area but the thing is i don't see anything else that could say he killed the kid. If he supposedly wiped the blood off the jacket then what did he wipe it off with and since he was putting the jacket on does that mean he had it off when he stabbed thw boy so which is it. He didnt seem to have any blood on his clothes either. If i were the famiky i wouldnt be too happy about this verdict. I'd be pisssed that whoever killed my kid got away with it.
I'm new to your channel , and after trhe second video I subscribed because of cases I have never heard before. 😊 Love from France
Video starts 1:48
Thank you!
@@KPRC2Click2HoustonSo terribly sad! I wish this young man could have become a Dr. I bet he would have been a very compassionate kind Dr.!! Breaks my heart for his family!💔💔💔
May Josue R.I.P. and may his family have Gods grace of peace and love .
Poor kid..this is why I hug my babies😢
Why?? He didn't even know the boy. Just doesn't make sense. Also, weren't there witnesses around who could identify him??
Good series
As sad as it is, I am not convinced. What was the motive, all they have is the jacket and the weak DNA
Exactly
This case doesn’t add up ! The police never collected shoes clothing or searched for dna on joshus backpack clothes or body.
I think it’s another child who stabbed him and the police wanted to cover it up !
🤷♀️
Well apparently you didn't pay any attention to the video, they said the motive was racial and the DNA was strong, how else would the guy get the boys blood on his jacket ? How is that weak ?
@@mariawestman9026
If another child stabbed him why wasn't there any video of other kids running around there covered in blood ?
Explain why the guy had the boys blood on the sleeve of his jacket ?
I will ALWAYS remember Josue Flores...I was on N.Main the day he got killed.... My homie was the one they arrested at first....
Bet that officer that arrested him in the first place was going crazy all those years. He KNEW this child killer was guilty. He soft too, don't trust those mfs around your children.
13:50 I’m sorry but that doesn’t seem like enough probable cause to arrest an innocent man for murder. Because he “kinda” fit the description. They tarnished his reputation for nothing.
It worked for over a hundred years prior to DNA,
And if he's innocent please explain how he got the boys blood on his sleeve ?
So sad. Such a cute kid.
He didnt do it
3 mins in and I am shook. I watch this stuff and it makes me sick. I watch it to learn about the wonderful souls we’ve lost.
May the memory of Josue Flores live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. May Josue rest in peace and never be forgotten.
Dang the lady who noticed the knife in the gutter and called it in is incredibly astute. I don’t think most people would even notice, much less be mindful enough to put two and two together and call it in as potential evidence.
How can you live a normal life knowing you killed an defenseless innocent kid 20 times...
I still don't understand what kind of monster you are... They waited 6yrs to have justice...
Thank you Both for getting that Monster off the streets! Justice for this Beautiful Child has been rendered. Josue Flores, Rest in Peace! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💙💙💙
What was the reason why he the accused done it? And did you find the tool used?
Some homeless people commit crimes to get into prison: three meals a day, roof over their heads, healthcare and no bills to worry about...
Not sure if that was the motive as I haven't seen the entire episode but heard others say Andre was homeless. Evil doesn't operate by morals or rules.
@@mynamenotgiven5717 did you not watch the video ? They explained the guy murdered the boy because he hated Hispanics, it was a racist crime
Hearing the detective say that there was a Mother’s Day card in his backpack… my heart just breaks for his mama and everyone else who loved Josue.
"From what camera!?!?? Says it all.
There’s so much evil in this world,, to get them off the streets. It takes an innocent person that they have killed, and that is a real shame… but you can’t stop what you don’t know..
As a mama of a 12 yr old i cant imagine this families pain and dont want too. But vids like this make me so much more aware of the true evil out there as im someone who sees the best in anyone but try to teach my son to be aware of his surroundings at all times and sadly he thinks hes invincible and can fight off the worst of the worst. I pray safety for him anytime he leaves home. Prayers for this babies family 🙏💔🕊 Fly High with Jesus lil man
What an amazing job, perseverance, and patience finally pays off.
this case has always haunted me, that poor boy so close to safety yet so far. I don't understand how anyone could murder a child and also why he did not get the death penalty.
I wondered why he did it I thought the killer.Was mentally ill but,I see he's not insane.He knew what he did may the lil boy rest easy❤🙏
Sometimes, I wonder if some form of jungle justice would help curb some of this type of violence in this country.
So they spent all that time on the 1st person they saw. And the color means nothing to me. while the real killer had time to get home change clothes hide the knife.
If I remember correctly they arrested him because he fit the description, and also if I remember correctly they quickly checked his story and released him,
There's a 11 year murdered by a adult in broad daylight, in a perfect world the authorities would be there arresting the murderer right after it happened, or Better yet in perfect world the boy wouldn't be murdered
Very sad this beautiful child had too go through this
Fly High Lil Buddy 🙏 I'm positive Jesus found you a top position on his medical staff Dr Josue Flores 4ever and an eternity
Thanks for sharing! Kudos to TX law enforcement
Being sad is a terrible feeling 😢
Jackson was seemingly battling inner demons. To avoid lenghty debating, I'll end there without stating more of what I see and speculate.
