Road accident
According to Jenn Hanna, her son Joneil was at a graduation house party and started walking home with friends along Highway 223 after the party ended around 3:30 AM. His son was hit by a car after stopping to fix his shoe and his friends pulled him out of the ditch to perform CPR. Sadly, he died a short while after in a healthcare facility.
