local student Jeremy Henley shot
06/07/2006 6:58 AM by John M
Jeremy Henley, 15-years-old and of the 700 block of North 33rd Street, was fatally shot in the head yesterday afternoon while visiting his girlfriend at her home in the 2800 block of Fairfield Avenue. Henley was due to graduate next week from Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School. [via] [via]
A prayer vigil for Henley will be held Thursday at 6 p.m. outside the family’s home in the 700 block of North 33rd Street.
Do you know him from school John? The prayer vigil is just a couple blocks from here, I’ll probably try to make it.
I do not think that I knew him. I pretty much only know 6th graders, with a smattering of 7th graders.
more from the RTD
I knew Jeremy. I first met him in the six grade at Onsolw Minnis Middle. I had recently seen him on May 30, 2006, when me, my cousin and some other of my friends were at the church hill playground where Armstrong use to be. It was like 11:00 or 12:00 something at night and I remember him having a gun on him.He was with this other guy and they were playing around with the gun. I talked to him and he said that he goes to C.C.P. and he’s in the eighth grade, then my friend dare him to shoot the gun and run. Jeremy try it but at first it didn’t work then he try it again and put it in the air and it went off and my cousin’s boyfriend said we better go before the lady across the street call the police and all of us ran and that was the last time I seen Jeremy. Then June 7, 2006 I read in the paper that he was dead and I was just shock because the week before I had seen him and was talking to him because I haven’t seen him in two years because they close down our school which is now Franklin Miltary and we were combined with Mosby Middle. I remeber at the begining of the school year he was there then I stop seeing him. Jeremy never really comes to school he comes when he feels like it but I was really shock about the news. I never really thought or pictured him doing anything like that he was a nice sweethearted guy and was playful at times and sometimes quiet. I guess all the drama he was going through with his family and girlfriend just kind of build up in him and he couldn’t take it any more or maybe he was playing around with the gun to manying times that it backfire on him and ended up killing him.
It Doesnt Make Any Since That That Boy Is Dead And He Was Supposed To Graduate On This Very Day.He Had A Baybee On The Way,And My Sister Sayd That He Always Talked About It.I Knew Him When I Was In The Third Grade And He Was A Fifth Grader In Chimborazo Elementary.But All Im Saying Is That This Is A Very Sad Situation And I Know That His Familys Taking It Very Hard Right Now,And They Have My Deepest Sympathy.
I am glad that Jeremy Henley will be remembered so kindly by some of his friends and classmates. What a loss.
Janel and Brittany.T,
I am so sorry about the loss of your friend. I did not know him but he was clearly loved by his friends and family. PLEASE think of this tragedy and remind your friends of it ANYTIME you are near a gun or think that playing with one might be fun. If you find a gun or know of someone who has one (like Jeremy), please notify the police so this doesn’t happen again. My deepest sympathies are with you.
Jeremy was a friend of mine. Im outta state so I had jus found out that he was dead. We were in Head Start together an in otha elementary classes before I left I went to Martin Luther King with him. It is very sad to hear he had to go so fast. We used to have good times together and my grandmother was his teacher and she said she’s sorry to hear that he’s gone.
“A Richmond middle school student found dead in his girlfriend’s Henrico County apartment June 6 accidentally shot himself in the head, investigators have concluded.”
Yea .. Im goin to miss Jeremy!!! I remember when he was a lil boy at chimborazo always joking around…He always made me laugh.. and I would of never thought that his life would ever come to this…… RIP CHURCH HILL 33rd St
While I didn’t know Jeremy and I feel sorry for the loss of such a young person there is a part of me that must say something. Playing with guns is stupid and per Jannel’s post above I have one less person to worry about shooting a gun off indiscriminately into the air on N 33rd Street.
well jeremy was my cousin but we never hung around each other but i was shock to hear that he was dead i will always miss him yo lil cuz well older then me by one yrs love u
me & jeremy grew with each other in the west end and i would never thought he will die cause at times we will meet up i mean words couldn’t explain how much i luv him i mean dat was my nigga/cousin
R.I.P. Jeremy
I knew Jeremy somewhat. He lived one block from me. He was always nice to me we use to play baskeball with each other. I saw him the week before he died and i couldn’t believe it. I prayed for him and may God bless him and keep him. RIP Jeremy.
