Mother has surprising reaction after inmate's cold-case confession
HOUSTON—Houston police said there has been a break in a cold-case murder after the alleged killer wrote a letter to authorities to confess.
Jevonnie Jenkins was killed on March 2, 1997 in a neighbor’s house after some men pulled up in a car to rob the 20-year-old and his friends. His grandmother lives next door in southeast Houston’s South Park community and heard the fatal shot.
Jevonnie Jenkins’ mother told us she wants the court to show mercy.
“I don’t want any charges put on him,” said Gloria Jenkins. “Because he was a baby at the time....I’m thinking (the inmate) has probably did and been and seen so many bad things in his life ‘til I want to give him a chance to get out at least as a young man at 50 to try to live his life.”
