Jackie Evans is dead & 2 neighbor kids are missing.

[Mom of 4]

Jackie Evans was shot to death and found in her apartment. Jackie has 4 children who all appear to be accounted for. Two neighbor children however have been missing since the shooting and it is suspected they were witnesses to the shooting.

Cincinnati police are searching for two children who are missing from the same Fay Apartment address in North Fairmount where a mother of four was shot to death Friday night.

As of Saturday night, police can't say whether it's a coincidence or if there is a direct connection between the shooting death of 25-year-old Jackie Denise Evans, and the two neighbor children who police reported critically missing Saturday -- from the same apartment building.

What we do know is that Jackie Evans was found shot at her unit in the Fay Apartments just before 9 p.m. Friday night.

The mother of four was rushed to University Hospital, where she later died.

As police were investigating that homicide, they discovered two children living in the same vicinity were missing.

They're identified as nine-year-old Damerco Jones and four-year-old Armisha Williams.

They are not related to Jackie Evans, according to police and to friends.

However, Cincinnati detectives do indicate they suspect that the missing youngsters have some connection to the homicide.

Police Detective Howard Grant tells 9News, "At this time, that is still under investigation. What we do know is that at 2535 Williamsburg Drive, a homicide occurred."

"It's a coincidence at 2535 Williamsburg, there are some children who live in the same townhouse, and they're no longer anywhere to be found," said Detective Grant. "Our understanding is that they were witnesses to the crime."

A friend of Jackie Evans', Pamela Williams, who went to college with her, says Evans has four children of her own who she says are now safe and staying with their father.

She confirms that the nine-year-old and four-year-old are not Evan's children.

Williams tells 9News that Evans was anxious to move out of her Fay Apartment unit because of the treatment she was getting from neighbors.

Williams says, "She was really having a difficult time where she lived in the Fay Apartments."

It doesn't look good for these two angels..:(
Thanks Mom for posting...I sure wished I had a thanks to give.

[carol13]

I really wish there were more details from the police....but i have to ask, if the killer was comfortable mudering the woman there, why take the kids and hurt them somewhere else? Panic, maybe?

[Mom of 4]

I agree Carol there is not much information about this. I mean 2 kids have been missing since Friday and this story just isn't news for some reason.

I did find this tidbit that says a woman may have taken them. No description though.

Police looking for missing kids.

( Cincinnati ) As Cincinnati Police were investigating the Friday night homicide of Jackie Evans in the 2500 block of Williamsburg Drive, they discovered two children had been taken from the scene. Officers say 4-year-old Armisha Williams and 9-year-old Damerco Jones may have witnessed the homicide, and were taken from the scene by a woman who is not their mother or guardian. Police have not released if the children's abductor or mother is in any way related to the victim or suspect in the shooting.

Just to throw a monkey in everybody's wrench.....What if the kids were the primary target, and the woman was murdered because she saw the abductor? What if some fool wanted a couple of kids without having to go through the long and tedious process that is conception, gestation, birth, and potty training - and just decided to take two who were already housebroken, and available? And what if Jackie saw the abduction taking place, tried to stop it, and got killed for her attempt to help the kids? Just wanted to muddy up the waters a bit...:D

[Mom of 4]

Thats a very real possibility Angel. I just don't understand why these 2 missing kids are not big news. There isn't even a mention of who their parents are or if they have siblings, what they were wearing etc.. There is no plea from their family either. I just find the whole thing odd.

[Mom of 4]

This case is still bizarre to me. According to this the two children who were missing are safe.

CINCINNATI (AP) - A prosecutor says a mother shot and killed another mother in front of her children at a Cincinnati apartment complex after the two had fought over a disagreement between their children.

An indictment unsealed Thursday accuses 25-year-old Tinisha Jones of murdering Jackie Denise Evans on April 25 as Evans walked on a sidewalk with her four children, ages 8 months to 6 years. Investigators say the 25-year old Evans was shot in the chest.

Hamilton County prosecutor Mark Piepmeier says 1 of Jones' children had a disagreement with 1 of Evans' children and the mothers became involved and got into a fist fight.

Jones remains at-large.

Police say her children, ages 4 and 9, may also have seen the shooting.

I am so sick of this shit. People want others to see after the welfare of their kids. Lawsuits are the evidence. When anyone chimes up or intervines it's a fighting offense, or law suit. Can't be both ways.

CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19) -- A Cincinnati mom will spend the next 13 years behind bars for the murder of another mom.

Tinisha Jones, 25, pled guilty to the April murder of Jackie Evans at the Fay Apartments.

Judge Robert Winkler sentenced Jones to 13 years in prison Thursday on charges of voluntary manslaughter with gun specifications. It was the maximum sentence from Jones' plea deal.

Police say Jones shot Evans in front of her four children after a fight at a playground at the Fay Apartments. Jones' children were present, too.

The fight apparently started between two children, and erupted into a melee involving close to 75 people. But police never got any cooperation from witnesses.

It's sad but that is how people in these areas are raised. From a young age children are taught to not trust the police. The are told over and over by the adults that snitching is the worst thing you can do. Also if you are a snitch in a neighborhood like this your life is in danger. Most these people think snitches are the scum of the earth.

I know this because I was raised in one of these neighborhoods. I was taught to never speak to the police. My own mother stressed that I should never call or speak to the police. Even if I had witnessed a crime my mom would tell me to go to the basement and pretend nobody was home. I lived by this and believed it for many years. Sad I know!

I know it's a stupid cycle. But at some point someone has to stop it.

[CbabyRKO]

How fuckin sad is this situation two moms in a fight and one of them decides to escalate the situation with a gun. How serious was this fight between kids that this chick thought to bring a gun, hell to start a fight during a simple walk home is stupid enough.

I figured a way to get rid of all these hooded savages, but I couldn’t get it passed through Congress.
Build a great, big, large fence — 150 or 100 mile long — put all the hoodies in there, And feed ‘em. Fly over and drop'em some food. Do the same for the hooded beasts. And have that fence electrified ’til they can’t get out.
And you know what, in a few years, they’ll die out. Do you know why? They'll kill each
other in gang wars, ready rocks, colorful sneakers, and over their "turf", actually owned by us tax
payers. They'll have to resort back to spears and rocks!
