November 16, 2026, marks two years since our lives were forever changed by Jaylen’s murder. Two years without his smile, his laughter, his presence, and all the memories we wish we could make with him today.
Although two years have passed, the pain of losing him doesn’t come with a time limit. The emptiness he left behind is still felt every single day. He was loved, he is missed, and he will NEVER be forgotten.
But one thing remains just as strong as the day we lost him: OUR FIGHT FOR JUSTICE.
Two years later, we are STILL fighting for Jaylen. We are STILL speaking his name. We are STILL demanding justice. Time may pass, but we will never stop standing up for him. We will never allow his story to be forgotten or his life to become just another memory.
We invite the community to come together for a candlelight vigil in honor of Jaylen, and as a peaceful protest against County Attorney Rachel Mitchell’s denial of justice.
