The petition states:

Jelani is loved and represents the absolute best of our beloved fraternity; therefore, bringing those responsible for this heinous act to justice is not a request but a demand.

The person(s) responsible for Jelani’s death is now walking our community free, and we will not rest until those responsible are brought to justice.
