On July 20, 2013 I received a call from my son’s mother Shanika Williams that I would never in my life time ever through I would receive regarding one of my kids. She was crying hysterically to the point that I didn’t understand what she was saying.
When she did get the words out where I could understand her, she stated my sixteen year old son Jaylen Walker had shot himself. I knew something bad had happen, but I was expecting her to say he was in car wreck or any other type of accident but never in a million years was I expecting to hear her say my son had just shot himself. I was numb and really couldn’t find words to say.
It was like I just froze in disbelief.. She was driving and on her way home when she informed me of what had happen so all I could do was try and calm her down, but I felt the worst had happen and it was true. My son had committed suicide.
