Online Fundraiser Launched for Alleged Home Invader Who was Shot and Killed

 

SAN ANGELO, TX — He hasn’t been dead for 24 hours and already there is a GoFundMe fundraising page asking for $10,000 in donations for the guy who police said forced his way into a home and was shot multiple times.

The GoFundMe page, created by Angela Lassetter, is to raise money for funeral expenses for Jadyn Phillips, 20.

Just before midnight Friday night, police said Phillips forced his way into an upstairs apartment in Sedona Ranch, a middle class apartment complex on San Angelo’s southwest side. The resident living in the apartment, unnamed and also 20 years old, fired multiple shots. Phillips died of multiple gunshot wounds, although an official autopsy was ordered by the justice of the peace. Police said Phillips was making the home invasion with an accomplice who has not been found or named. The apparent motive was robbery, police said.

“Regardless of what the news is reporting, everything is still under investigation and we do not need to cast stones we need to pull together and help,” states the narrative on the GoFundMe page.

The narrative of the GoFundMe page alludes to there being more to the story than so far released by police. The narrative on the GoFundMe page alleges Phillips was “murdered.”

As of 8 p.m. Saturday night, $2,600 was reported raised of a $10,000 goal.

For a contribution of $ 100.00 you will recieve a prayer towel autographed by Jadyn and a lottery ticket worth being invited as a pall bearer. Internment pending at the city landfill.

Unfortunately, that's the social climate we live in today: some rat bastard breaks into someone's home, gets what he deserves and not even 24 hours later, his lowlife friends and family are soliciting the public for charity.

Just have his momma kick a bit of dirt over him. That's how most dogs bury the turds they lay.

How about a "GoFundMe" page to replace the victims bullets, or at least buy the guy a steak dinner and a beer? What's anyone doing to help HIM out?

Sorry...... but I've already donated to the go-fund-me page to assist the shooter in purchasing a new box of bullets.

What you sow. One more worthless POS in a pine box. GOOD RIDDANCE may your gofundme friends soon join you.

I get what y'all are saying. I understand that outrage, but we are talking about a human being. He made a bad choice, but he was a human being. He had a family and friends who cared about him, just like y'all have. I don't think it's up to us to decide what he deserved, how "bad" of a person he was, etc., especially without knowing what led him to make the choice(s) he made. There, but for the grace of god, go I (or you).

Why rob an apartment? A top floor? Multiple shots to one? Other gets away. Was other injured??? Got to really dig for this one.

City can and has to put a body away upon death....to create a fundraiser is rediculous...Family should have reached out personally for donations amongst fam.members,not the public.Its unfortunate someone lost their life but the law was broken a stupid choice was made and the price was paid with his life.
