Police, with assistance from the District Attorney’s Office High Technology Unit, investigated the shooting and arrested Jenkins later that day.
“I am repulsed, enraged, and will forever be hurt that you, Michael Jenkins, walked up to my son and shot him in cold blood. You have scarred me, my family, friends, and a community where my son was born and raised. You are a disgrace and a danger to our society," The victim’s mother spoke during sentencing.
