Community in Grief: Family Seeks Justice After Death in Dennery

A family in Dennery is grieving the tragic loss of 36-year-old Jimmy Charles, whose murder marks one of two violent incidents reported over the weekend. On Friday, June 27, at around 9:17 p.m., officers from the Richfond Police Station reacted to reports of a shooting in Thomazo, Dennery. Upon their arrival, they discovered Charles’ lifeless form in a roadside shed, bearing multiple gunshot wounds. Prior to the official announcement, distressing footage surfaced online, depicting Charles motionless in a pool of blood. Jeanette John, Charles’ mother-in-law, revealed she received news of his demise from her sister, yet remains uncertain about the details surrounding his death. “It’s particularly tough for the children’s mother,” she noted, referring to her daughter, who shares two children with Charles. She fondly recalled Charles as a caring figure, emphasizing, “Despite any community tensions, I loved him.” Superintendent Steven Victorin assured that law enforcement is diligently pursuing leads, urging anyone with information to contact the Major Crimes Unit or the crime hotline.
