Wow Witnesses say a police car drove by as Jahkai lay bleeding, and their cries for help went unanswered. 💔
On June 7th, 15-year-old Jahkai Jack was killed in Toronto in an unprovoked act of violence - confirmed by police themselves. And yet, months later, what surrounds his death is not clarity… but silence.
911 put witnesses on hold.
Emergency responders arrived well after the reported ten-minute delay.
His family waited hours to be told the truth about their own child.
The public received one press conference, and nothing more.
This silence is not accidental.
Silence is how systems preserve themselves.
Silence is how institutions show us which lives they are unwilling to fight for.
We refuse to accept that.
When a child is killed and the institutions meant to protect us withdraw into quiet, we must ask:
Whose safety is prioritized? Whose grief is ignored? Whose children are rendered invisible?
This is not about one case.
This is a pattern - of delay, denial, neglect, and erasure that Black families know too well.
A pattern that teaches us justice is selective, and some children are pushed into the shadows.
We are not asking for charity.
We are demanding accountability.
Toronto Police Services must answer:
🔹 What has happened in this investigation since July?
🔹 Why are there no updates, no arrests, no expanded suspect description?
🔹 What explains the reported delay in emergency response?
🔹 Why did a family wait hours for clarity?
🔹 Why did an officer reportedly drive past without stopping?
🔹 Why has this community been met with silence?
As long as silence continues, we will continue to speak.
As long as justice is deferred, we will demand its presence.
FOMB stands with Jahkai’s family, with every parent who has grieved in isolation, and with every community that refuses to be dismissed.
A child’s life cannot be forgotten.
A child’s name cannot be buried in bureaucracy.
We are calling for transparency now
