wow who is he.. that dead white woman that currently has a massive manhunt launched to capture her the theif using her debit card posthumously

Don't care.

Where is all this KKK supposition coming from? Is any of it factual?

Thoughts and Prayers are with his family, lost my son in 2018 , his mom on my mind , what a handsome man jelani is. 🙏

prayers for the family

Yeah this sketchy and Illinois don’t like black ppl like that sooooo. Especially since they basically had the body . The Klan strong where he is

🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

My condolences to his family. A loss to the world. He should have had the opportunity to live his life to the fullest.

I want to know why the coroner won't release the results of the autopsy - aside from consulting with the family first - cause they definitely had the body long enough to figure out the cause of death. Really hope his family and loved ones get the answers they deserve soon RIP J

RIP 🙏🏻

Absolutely heartbreaking 💔… May he RIP… praying that his family and friends withstand this profound grief … No parents should go through this … Hope the preps are caught and justice done urgently …

Sad

Elsewhere all over Twitter, a predictable result: Pushing a political narrative supersedes the actual tragedy of the untimely deaths of two young people.

Gabby Petito's body was identified AND death ruled a homicide within what 24 hrs? Took them 19 days to identify Jelani. Smh. His mother pleading for help to find her baby when he was already found. My condolences to his family.

Condolences to his family and friends and so sorry all this happened. 🌺🌺

I wonder if this is the same body his mother was inquiring about and they were giving her 💩 for questioning them! At least the family no longer have to worry where he is. Now the family need to know what happened and HOPEFULLY no one will drag their feet on that!

Prayers for his family and loved ones 🙏🙏

🙏🕯️

Where the 24 hour coverage of this tragedy? Too busy covering SF_Vanlife and her obvious murder by her vanlife boyfriend? So sad this man’s murder is placed in the back of the bus once again or in this case, the back of the van.

ADOSorg Condolences, comfort, and strength to JelaniDay's family, friends, and community. 🙏🏾

Found earlier this month and identified today. Missing white woman’s family has been using nonstop MSM coverage and untold law enforcement hours.

YourRacingBelle Oh no… this is just terrible. Love to his family and friends🙏
