A tragic incident unfolded in Florida’s Tampa Bay area, where a 13-year-old boy lost his life after recording a video on his phone that captured his final moments. The victim, identified as Jaden Hill, was shot by his 14-year-old friend, Markus Carr, while they were sitting in a car. The incident occurred shortly after 11 p.m. on Saturday at 2421 11th St. S. in St. Petersburg.
Initially, Markus claimed that Jaden was the victim of a drive-by shooting. However, the video evidence recorded by Jaden contradicted this account, revealing Markus as the shooter. Following the revelation, police detained Markus, and he now faces a murder charge, as confirmed by the St. Petersburg Police Department. This somber event underscores the grave consequences of gun violence among youth.
