Jescie James Armstrong was a 15-year-old boy from Rock Island, Illinois, who was shot and killed in his home on April 27, 2016. He suffered a single gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at Unity Point-Trinity Medical Center, the Rock Island County Coroner Brian Gustafson reported.

The homicide investigation led to an arrest warrant for 17-year-old Kire G. Carr of Rock Island, wanted for first-degree murder and described as armed and dangerous. Chelsea Michelle Raker, 23, was one of three people charged in connection with the killing; she ultimately pleaded to armed robbery as part of a plea deal and received a 40-year prison sentence with three years supervised release. Jescie’s parents, Jamie Armstrong and Crystal Schwager, and his siblings were left to mourn, and the community raised funds to help with funeral expenses.
