Zamar Jones #futurepoliceofficer

On Saturday night (8/1), three men engaged each other in a shootout on the 200 block of North Simpson Street in Philadelphia. When it was over, 7-year old Zamar Jones was shot in the head by one of their stray bullets as he sat on his front steps playing with his toy race cars.

A Philadelphia Police Officer rushed the boy to the hospital in critical condition. Sadly, Zamar passed away from his wounds yesterday afternoon.

One of the gunmen was chased down and arrested by a responding officer. The other two men are still on the loose.

Zamar was set to begin 2nd grade next month, and is remembered for always helping out on his block. He would regularly do chores for his neighbors and run to the corner store if they needed something. When the students in his class held up signs to show what they wanted to be when they grow up, Zamar held one up that said “Future Police Officer”. #justiceforzamar
