Shar’Ron Jackson, affectionately known as “YG”, was only 22 years old when his life was suddenly taken in front of Seaview Manor public housing complex in Long Branch, N.J. on June 24th.
Jackson was at his mother’s home in West Long Branch, N.J., getting ready to watch “Karate Kid” the movie, when he received a phone call from a blocked number to meet them at Seaview Manor.
He told his mother he would be back shortly. Not long later, she received a phone call from the police saying her son was shot three times and was being rushed to the hospital.
Jackson succumbed to his injuries on June 25th at Monmouth Medical Center from his gun shot wounds.
Lamont Williams, 25, of Long Branch has been charged with Jackson’s murder.

But Jackson will never get that chance.
“Another life was cut prematurely from this earth. Senselessly. says Editor-in-Chief of Unheard Voices, Chenelle Covin.
Only a couple days after Jackson’s murder, 16-year-old Jason Glisson was murdered in Asbury Park, N.J.
Two other teenagers were shot in Asbury Park. All of them unrelated.
“Everyone is tired, but where is the uproar? The truth is, communities like Asbury Park and Long Branch don’t want to lose the millions of dollars it receives from tourism, & attractions, especially during the summer months.
It would be “politically incorrect” to shine light on the real problems going on in the community. We cannot write off these incidents as “another murder”. No matter one’s imperfections, everyone deserves a chance. ” – C. Covin
