“He’s being charged [Saturday] in connection with the murder of 7-year-old Jaslyn Adams,” Brown said. Those charges include first-degree murder, attempted murder, and vehicular hijacking. Adams’ grandmother said she is grateful to Chicago police for getting one suspect behind bars.
Adams’ grandmother said these new charges bring the family one step closer to justice but added that full closure won’t come until all responsible for taking this little girl’s smile away are caught.
“Just turn yourself in,” said Adams’ grandmother, Lawanda McMullen. “You know a 7-year-old girl she had nothing to do with that at all. You know if you have any heart, you know if you have a child — just think about your family.”
