3-year-old toddler used as human shield in 2019 by his cowardly father dies


Killing a baby in the womb or shortly after he or she is delivered outside of it is horrible, and the height of selfishness and godlessness. Using a baby as a human shield by the child's cowardly father is beyond words and only can be described as the height of cowardly behavior, to the point of wanting to vomit.

Yaseem Jenkins, 3, was a mere 11 months old when his father [whose name will not be used because it only belongs on toilet paper] a con artist, used him as a human shield in a 2019 drug-related shooting in Philadelphia, prosecutors said.

The child died Tuesday.

The father allegedly attempted to  buy drugs with counterfeit cash in the Hunting Park section of Philadelphia, according to officials. When the shooter, Francisco Ortiz, 29, fired upon the father's car after the drug deal went bust, and Yaseem was in the back seat.

“Our investigation has led us to believe that he intentionally had his child with him when he was making such types of purchases with the idea or belief that if someone saw that he had a child in the car, that they would not fire upon him,” Anthony Voci of the district attorney’s office said at the time.

“A human shield is probably the term that I would use.”

“We are awaiting a medical examiner’s report on the cause of death but we have reason to believe the cause of death is his original injury from that shooting,” Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said at a Friday press conference.

Ortiz was expected to be charged with murder in Yaseem's death if it is ruled a homicide by the coroner, and it isn't looking very good for the scumbag.

And while the father wasn't directly involved with pulling the trigger, the father has been charged with recklessly endangering another person and endangering the welfare of a child, according to KYW-TV. This seems to be an incredibly generous understatement for a person who would bring his child to a dangerous drug deal.

Less than 24 hours after Yaseem was shot, the same weapon was given to the killers by Ortiz that was used to shoot another baby, police said.

 Nikolette Rivera, 2, died after suspects shot her in the back of the head while opening fire on her North Philadelphia home. 

Firearms are not evil or violent--that depends on the person holding it. How more obvious can it get?

  1. The medical examiner’s report on the cause of death was deemed a suicide. Evidently, the child was so upset, that he shot himself.
