NEWS: SPELMAN COLLEGE STUDENT SLAIN

Friday, September 4, 2009

Spelman College student Jasmine Lynn was killed by a stray bullet early Thursday while walking near Clark Atlanta University.

Although no arrests have been made, police have questioned a witness who was taken to the hospital after being chased down and beaten by bystanders who saw the shooting, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

“He has some knowledge about what was going on,” Atlanta Police Chief Richard Pennington said. “We can’t say he’s the suspect. We can’t say if he was the actual triggerman. He’s a person of interest.”

Two weeks into her sophomore year, 19-year-old Lynn and some friends were walking down the street when they saw a group of men fighting. One of the men had a gun in his pants, ran around the corner and began shooting behind him.

Lynn, a 2008 graduate of Lincoln College Preparatory Academy in Kansas City, Mo., was majoring in psychology and minoring in business.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Jasmine’s friends and family.

My prayers go out to all her family and friends…

I read about this early this morning and it really just brought me to tears, (Although I don’t know her personallly) I am her same age and at the age of 19 you have your entire life to look forward to and Im sure no one could imagine having to die like this, she was taken way too soon , due to some nonsense. It’s times when I hear about things like this along with all the other crazy stuff that makes me so scrared for my life…. & its sad bc as people I don;t think we should have to FEAR FOR OUR LIFE.

I wanted to transfer to either Spelman on Clark for the Spring, but this entire situation is making me reThink my plans,…. And its sad…

Everyone PLEASE BE SAFE…….

I’m from kansas city & i went to high school with Jasmine . She was the most lively (& loudest) person i’ve ever met . LOL Always at all the parties but i can also say she stayed on top of her books too & thats admirable… Part of her reason for going to Spelman was to get away from all the violence & foolishness in KC . I kind of looked up to her for those reasons , too . That was my big homie & it’s so random that she was taken away , man . It seems as if God takes all the wrong ppl… :’(

We miss yo crazy self bein the life of the party Jasmine .
Rest in peace , girl .

THE CRIME IN ATLANTA HAS GOTTEN COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL! WHEN IS SOMEONE GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? PEOPLE ARE NOT SAFE ANYWHERE IN THIS CITY. ALL YOU SEE ON THE NEWS IS SHOOTINGS, CARJACKINGS, HOME INVASIONS ON A DAILY BASIS. SMH.

It’s a real shame when people who stay out of trouble get dragged into the worst possible situations. The same nonsense is happening here in the UK, but what do we do about it?

…it’s really sad, but most of all upsetting. Another bright mind lost to ignorance.
My prayers go up for the Lynn family.

Why cant somebody from the Atlanta University buy up the ghetto that surrounds it and make it a parking lot. I know robberies were going on around Georgia State, but robberies have been going on around Clark Atlanta Univ numerous times but dont get the same media attention, probably because it happens so many times to where its not news anymore. Already know you can get shot anywhere but your chances increase in the hood and at a HBU surrounded by a ghetto.

This is my last semester as a Morehouse senior and that was certainly the heaviest day I’ve ever had while attending school in the Atlanta University Center. Everyone can feel this lost, it hits home. Asking God for the answers….

That is a total lose for the community she lived in, for her family, friends and anyone who would have benefited from her life. These young males need to grow up and be men!!! Sad.

My Condolences,
