The mother of 16 year old Dequan Joseph, who was shot to death at a Barbeque in Jacmel, says her son was not a gangster. His sister broke down tears, still in disbelief about the deadly shooting. Both mother and daughter say the teenager was a loving child. The mother, Wendy Joseph, said that while he was troublesome, he was not involved in any gang and recently attended the Bocage School.
Joseph says on that Sunday she heard several gunshots being fired. She later received a telephone call informing her that her sixteen year old son was dead. Joseph said she arrived on the scene to find her son’s bullet riddled body lying on the ground. Kyle Nelson, Gillian Charles were also shot to death in that incident.
