Just hours after being baptized at a local Church, a Florida teenager was shot and killed on Sunday night.
Reports say the teen was killed when he tried to protect a friend, after a fight broke out between two groups.
De'mari Jackson, 16, was shot on Franklin Street in Southward Village in Fort Myers. The young man was still wearing the same clothes he wore to Church that morning.
Syncere Trice, 19, a former South Fort Myers High School football star, was arrested and charged with killing Jackson after a fight broke out between teenagers. The two groups had been fighting each other for months.
A local prosecutor said three witnesses told police officers they saw the shooting and located Trice at the scene. The suspect is charged with second-degree murder and is being held without bail.
Jackson was one of eight people baptized Sunday morning at The Rock Church in Fort Myers, according to the Church's Facebook page.
Wayne Sloss, the Church's pastor, told him that although he didn't know Jackson, he believed something "resonated within him."
Please pray for the bereaved family. This is a very tragic and devastating thing to happen. But we thank the Lord that he had the chance to get right with Him. Will YOU have that same opportunity?!?
Tomorrow is not promised, and neither is the next breath you will take. Many of us put off our salvation as though we can predict when our last breath will be.
The question I want you to ask yourself today is: Is there anything in this world worth trading your salvation for?? If your answer was nothing then I plead with you to give your life to Jesus Christ at this very moment. Because you are dead alot longer then you are alive. 30 years or even 70 years does not even compare to all of eternity.
Scripture Declares:
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, But the end thereof are the ways of death. ~Proverbs 14:12
Are you truly following THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE!!! [John 14:6]
"Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion." ~Hebrews 3:15
For He says: “In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. ~2 Corinthians 6:2
Give Your Life To Jesus Christ Today!!!
