Murder of Jakeem Tully

 


At 2 a.m. on July 20, 2008, 15-year-old Jakeem Tully was walking home from his girlfriend's house in Hartford, Connecticut. He was in front of a 24 hr market on 485 Albany Ave. with a group of men. A vehicle drove by with several men inside and they shot at the group. Jakeem was shot twice in the left bicep and left chest.

A car driving by saw that Jakeem had been injured and brought him to St. Francis Hospital. The police were called at 2:10 a.m. to the hospital for the shooting. Jakeem would, unfortunately, die at 2:42.
