Tragic Act of Violence Leaves Woman Severely Injured, Community Rallies for Support and Justice
Jalyne Evans-Jones' life altered forever after a simple request ends in a horrifying act of violence on August 13, 2023.

*Gwinnett County, August 23, 2023* – A senseless act of violence on a peaceful Sunday evening has shaken the community and left Jalyne Evans-Jones fighting for her life. The traumatic incident occurred on the tragic evening of Sunday, August 13, 2023, forever changing the lives of Jalyne and her husband, Eric Jones.

Seeking a peaceful resolution to the incessant blaring music that had disrupted their home all day, Jalyne and Eric decided to approach their neighbors upstairs. What was meant to be a simple request for consideration quickly escalated into a horrifying ordeal. The neighbor's response was not one of understanding, but rather an unthinkable act of violence that shattered the tranquility of the neighborhood.

A single gunshot shattered Jalyne's wrist, leaving her with severe injuries that have altered the course of her life. The bullet's path was unrelenting, damaging her abdomen, lacerating her liver, and narrowly missing her spine. Her courageous fight for survival has already encompassed one surgery, with many more to come. The road ahead includes not only hand surgery and extensive physical therapy but also an emotional journey to heal from the trauma inflicted on that fateful night.

Jalyne's story has struck a chord with the community, igniting emotions of outrage and empathy. As the news spreads, calls for justice and support have grown stronger. In response, a Change.org petition https://chng.it/NnyvD58DnB has been created to advocate for a thorough investigation into the incident and hold the responsible parties accountable. Supporters are urged to sign the petition, standing together to demand justice for Jalyne and prevent such senseless acts from occurring in the future.

Additionally, a GoFundMe campaign https://www.gofundme.com/f/long-road-to-recovery-support-jalyne-evansjones has been launched to aid Jalyne's ongoing medical expenses and her journey to recovery.

Donations can also be made through Zelle at [email redacted] or via CashApp using the handle $jaejones71.

The overwhelming community support thus far has been a beacon of hope for Jalyne and her family as they navigate the challenging times ahead.

In an effort to keep the story alive and ensure that justice is served, community members are encouraged to share and repost links to news stories, spreading awareness far and wide. The harrowing incident serves as a stark reminder of the need for unity, empathy, and action in the face of tragedy.
