Stolen Lives 🕊️

His Story

Jasper Wu was only 23 months old, just weeks shy of his second birthday, when his precious life was tragically stolen on November 6, 2021, in Oakland, California. Jasper was asleep in his car seat while traveling with his family along Interstate 880 when they became caught in the crossfire of an alleged gang-related shootout. A stray bullet penetrated the family's vehicle, striking Jasper in the head and taking his young life.

Jasper was a beloved little boy whose mother remembered him as an exceptionally good child. His death devastated his family and touched communities throughout the country. Instead of preparing to celebrate his second birthday, his parents were left preparing to say goodbye. Jasper never had the opportunity to experience his childhood, attend school, make friends, or discover the world around him.

**Case Update 2023**

Arrests Made — Murder Charges Filed - Final Case Outcome Not Yet Verified
Following a 13-month investigation, three men were charged in December 2022 in connection with the shooting. In May 2023, murder charges against Johnny Jackson Jr. were dismissed after a judge determined that he had acted in self-defense. Trevor Green and Ivory Bivins were ordered to stand trial on murder charges. Although certain sentencing enhancements were subsequently removed, the murder charges remained in place at the time of the latest confirmed reporting. Jasper's family deserves justice for the innocent little boy whose future was taken before it truly began.

Jasper Wu — Forever loved. Never forgotten. 🌹
