East Side teen's death mourned Shot kills boy among teen crowd on corner
They started streaming in at about 10:30 a.m.
Dozens of friends, family and even some strangers came to True Bethel Baptist Church Friday to mourn 15-year-old Domonique L. Jones, who died last Saturday when a gunman fired into a crowd of teenagers as they were leaving a girl's graduation party on the city's East Side.
Domonique, who had just graduated weeks ago from the eighth grade at Hamlin Park School 74, died s
ortly after being struck by a single bullet.
"He was taken before he could even get into high school," said Aisha Thompson, a classmate of his at School 74. "He wanted to play basketb
all in high school. I guess he won't get to do that."
Domonique was among dozens of teenagers partying
when an altercation erupted between two adults, police said. The mother of the girl throwing the party told everyone to leave.
Minutes later, Domonique was standing with a group of 15 to 20 teenagers at the corner of Carl Street and the Scajaquada Expressway at about 12:30 a.m., when a man in dark clothes fired several shots at the group.
A single bullet pierced his body, killing him.
At Friday's funeral, young men and classmates broke down. Young girls had to be consoled. Many of the young people were dressed in white T-shirts, some with Domonique's baby picture on the front, others with a recent photo. Still others wore T-shirts that simply asked why.
His mother, Parshalle Byrd, kissed her son's face as she passed by the coffin. Though Domonique had brothers and sisters, he was his mother's only biological child.
She expressed
her
pain in a poem she composed for him.
We've only been together for 15 years.
What am I going to do without you?
. . . Who would've
known that we only had one more last day to spend together.
I would do anything to be with you again.
Police have not made an arrest yet in the case, and it's something Friday's mourners are trying to come to terms with.
"He was just a kid, just a kid, who had just graduated from eighth grade," said Karen Banks, one of the victim's aunts, adding that her nephew was "really quiet, very respectable and well-loved."
Wilhemina Mennieweather, a neighbor of Jones and the grandmother of two of his brothers, remembered seeing Domonique several times the day he died. He had passed by her house abo
ut five times as she sat on the porch. And each time he passed, he made it a point to stop and wave to her.
"Most young people wouldn't have done that. They probably would h
ave said
, "I ain't gonna wave again,' but he did," Mennieweather said. "I never shall forget that."

ourse, there was no doubt that it was negritude but the pic of the funeral confirms it. For a moment I was saddened by this pic but then I remembered how many thousands of white funerals there are every year that are a result of a murder by a n-gger killing an innocent white person. n-gger funerals no longer make me sad. What makes me sad and furious is the out of control negritude in this sick nation and how our national media covers it up to this day!!!!! Without NNN, we would all be in the dark concerning the national epidemic of TNB. We need more n-gger fu

A girl's graduation party on Carl Street turned into a murder scene Sunday morning when a [u]gunman opened fire into a crowd of teenagers [/u]and a single bullet pierced the body of a 15-year-old boy, [u]Domonique[/u] Jones.
He was among dozen
s of teenagers partying, police say, when an [u]altercation erupted between two adults, [/u]and the girl's mother told everyone to leave.
Minutes later, Domonique was standing with a group of 15 to 20 teenagers at the corner of Carl Street and the Scajaquada Expressway at about 12:30 a.m. when a man in dark clothes fired several shots at the group.
Within minutes, his father, Michael Jones, awoke to the phone call every parent dreads. He was told his son had been shot.
He drove frantically to the scene, where he was horrified to see his son'
;s [u]skinny 5-foot-8 frame sprawled face-up on the street. [/u]"They raised him up, and all this thick blood was gushing out of his mouth," his father recalled, hi
s eyes glazed wi
th tears as he stood on his porch. "When he was lying there, I knew it was bad, but I didn't want to believe it was real."
Domonique was rushed to Erie County Medical Center, where a doctor eventually said: "I'm sorry, we did all we could do."
His mother, [u]Pa
rshalle[/u] Byrd, immediately fainted.
Domonique, who just two weeks ago graduated from eighth grade at Hamlin Park School 74, is the city's 31st homicide of 2004 and the youngest murder victim of the year.
No arrests have been made.
"Even though he was a teenager, he was a big kid at heart," said his mother, slumped over on her living room couch.
Domonique moved between his father's home on Montana Avenue and his mother's house on East Amherst Street.
His family
says he had never been arrested and was not involved in drugs or gang activity. Diagnosed with [u]attention deficit disorder[/u], he was in [u]special-education clas
ses, his mother said
. [/u]
Domonique had a [u]large appetite [/u]and had a [u]passion for watching music videos[/u] and playing football and [u]basketball.[/u] He [u]leaves behind six brothers and three sisters. [/u]
I'm angry," said his mother. "I don't know why he hit my baby, and (Domonique) wasn't supposed to be at that party. It's senseless. The
[u]shooter went out there to shoot someone, and he didn't care who it was.[/u] It just so happened that bullet caught my baby. . . . I just want my baby back."
[b]I count 10 clues at least that this is Typical n-gger Behavior. You can smell the negritude from a mile away!! PHEWWWWWY!! n-ggers should never be allowed to gather in numbers of more than 4, otherwise violence breaks out and someone dies. Hey, maybe we should ENCOURAGE th
em to gather in large numbers, hmmmm, maybe we are onto something here!!!
