Jaden Hill was 13 when he was shot and killed on April 12, 2025, in Saint Petersburg, Florida. The shooting happened shortly after 11 p.m. while Hill was sitting in a vehicle with 14-year-old Markus Carr at 2421 11th St. S. Video from Hill’s cellphone reportedly captured Carr pointing a gun; Carr then fired a shot that struck Hill. Emergency responders took Hill to a hospital, where he later died.

Investigators initially treated the incident as a possible drive-by, but later concluded the shooting was not random and determined Carr fired the fatal shot. Carr was arrested and charged with second-degree murder. Authorities are still trying to trace the firearm and establish how Carr obtained it, including whether it was stolen.

Hill lived in Largo and is survived by his mother, Kelly Harris, his father, Jabarious Hill, and several siblings: Jabarious Hill Jr., Jaybreon Hill, Demetruis Long, Juliuan Long, Martez Hill, Jada Lewin, Jayla Long, and Liberty King. Does anyone have information about who supplied the gun or observed the events that night?
