Pine Hills, FL

A 15-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with the shooting death of Emony Nicole Jackson on Christmas Day. The Orange County Sheriff’s Office confirmed he has been charged with manslaughter.

The incident unfolded at approximately 4:45 PM when deputies responded to the scene. The suspect approached law enforcement and claimed he was responsible for the shooting, insisting it was accidental.

Emony was taken to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Information regarding the circumstances leading to the shooting has not been disclosed, nor has the relationship between the two teenagers been revealed.

Loved ones gathered for a candlelight vigil on Saturday, mourning the loss of the 13-year-old. Her aunt, Cynthia Williams, expressed doubts about the claim of an accident and emphasized the family’s desire for justice.

Tremaine Henderson, Emony’s cousin, recalled the difficulties she faced following the previous loss of her mother and younger sister in 2017. He mentioned Emony had aspirations for high school and hoped to become a cheerleader.

The investigation into the shooting is ongoing, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.

Henderson, NE A man is in custody following an alleged brutal assault outside a motel. Roger Lee Abramson, 49, faces charges including second-degree assault and terroristic threats.

The incident occurred late on Wednesday night at the Sun Motel. Abramson reportedly attacked two men, aged 78 and 53, leaving one severely injured.

The York County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of the assault around 11 p.m. Deputies discovered one victim bleeding from his arm.

The second victim sustained more serious injuries but remained conscious. He stated that Abramson struck him multiple times with a hammer before switching to a fire extinguisher.

Witnesses indicated Abramson had beaten the man on his head and arm with the hammer until it broke. After the hammer snapped, Abramson allegedly taunted the victim before continuing the assault with the fire extinguisher.

Emergency medical personnel transported both victims to the hospital. Investigators found blood outside the motel room and retrieved the broken hammer.

Abramson was taken into custody shortly after the incident. A motive for the attack was not detailed in the arrest affidavit.

He is currently being held at the York County Jail with a bond set at $200,000. Abramson is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday.
