Jamie was later pronounced dead at a local hospital. Jamahl was declared dead on the scene. </p> <p>Walker is charged with <a href="http://homicidewatch.org/2014/03/14/kevin-walker-pleads-innocent-in-killing-brother-and-sister-jamal-jamie-jenkins/">two counts of first degree murder</a>, two counts of possession of a firearm and one count of carrying a pistol without a license.</p> <p>According to prosecutors, on the night of the murder, a cousin and another person witnessed Jamie and Walker's girlfriend physically fight and Walker shoot both Jamie and Jamahl.</p> <p>On November 25, Jamie and Jamahl's cousin Annette Gibson testified that Jamie came to her house upset and confronted Walker's girlfriend. She told jurors that Jamahl wasn't really making threats, just trying to protect his sister. </p> <p>Gibson told jurors that she just "wanted to tell the truth" and that she saw Walker kill her cousins. </p> <p>Orlando Turner, who also witnessed the shooting, testified that before Jamie was shot, "she was begging for her brother’s life." </p> <p>"Everything just got kind of quiet and then the shooter just raised his hand and shot her," Turner said. "I seen the first shot. She fell straight to her back."</p> <p>As Jamie fell, Jamal turned to his right. Turner was running back into his house when he heard three shots, and then a couple more.</p> <p>Defense attorneys argued that Turner never saw the shooter, and that the police's investigation was "sloppy and ineffective." </p> <p>During trial, Walker's attorneys argued that Jamahl Jenkins told Walker's girlfriend, "I'm going to go home and get my gun and shoot whoever robbed my sister."</p> <p>Jury deliberation will continue Friday at 9:30.</p> <p><em>Additional reporting by Amelia Rufer</em></p> Imari WilliamsThu, 11 Dec 2014 21:34:19 -0500http://homicidewatch.org/2014/12/11/jury-begins-deliberations-in-siblings-double-homicide/Jamahl JenkinsJamie JenkinsKevin Antoine WalkerProsecution: Kevin Walker's "mind was made up"http://homicidewatch.org/2014/11/25/prosecution-kevin-walkers-mind-was-made-up/<p>On July 20, 2013, <a href="http://homicidewatch.org/suspects/kevin-walker/">Kevin Walker</a> shot siblings <a href="http://homicidewatch.org/victims/jamie-jenkins/">Jamie Jenkins</a> and <a href="http://homicidewatch.org/victims/jamahl-jenkins/">Jamal Jenkins</a> over an argument between his girlfriend and Jamie, "a fight he wasn't even part of," Assitant U.S. Attorney Demian Ahn argued as Walker's trial opened Tuesday.</p> <p>"The last thing [Jamie] ever did on this earth was to take a bullet for Jamal," Ahn said.</p> <p>Then "without any warning to his family, no prospects for a job, without even his ID," the prosecutor continued, Walker fled to North Carolina.</p> <p>"He gave up on the life he had," Ahn told the jury. </p> <p>The defense tells a different story. According to the Galit Lipa, Walker's attorney, the police investigation was "sloppy and ineffective."<br /> <span id="more-26192"></span></p> <p>"The police took shortcuts, made assumptions and when they failed to investigate this case, they failed to learn who really shot Jamie and Jamal Jenkins," Lip told the jury. "He did not shoot them and he is not guilty."</p> <p>On the night of the murder, Jamie Jenkins went to her cousin's house crying that she had been robbed, according to AUSA Ahn. She told her cousin she thought Walker's girlfriend's son had something to do with it.</p> <p>That cousin lived across the street from Walker and his girlfriend. When Walker's girlfriend arrived home that night, Jenkins confronted her. </p> <p>The two women fought in front of the cousin's home. Jamal Jenkins and their cousin eventually helped break up the fight.</p> <p>Jamal threatened to come back if Walker's girlfriend didn't return Jamie's belongings, Ahn said. With that, the siblings turned and left. </p> <p>Ahn said that the pair returned to the area a short while later because Jamie had lost her phone. When they didn't find it in their cousin's yard, they turned once more to leave. </p> <p>That's when Walker "stormed" out of his house and yelled at his girlfriend to tell him who threatened her. </p> <p>"He was mad and he was armed," Ahn said. "He continued moving towards Jamie and Jamal -- his mind was made up."</p> <p>Walker pointed his gun at Jamal, but Jamie jumped in front to shield him. </p> <p>"It was [Walker] who pulled the trigger that fired the bullet that bore into Jamie's brain," Ahn said. "The last thing Jamal ever did in life was turn and run. He ran as his sister's body fell to the pavement."</p> <p>That's when Ahn says Walker shot Jamal in the back. </p> <p>When Jamal fell, Walker "stood over him and fired the gun again and again and again."</p> <p>The audio of the gunshots recorded by gunshot detection sensors echoed through the courtroom. </p> <p>But defense attorneys argued that Walker had good reason to be angry.</p> <p>When Jamal broke up the fight between Jamie and Walker's girlfriend, he said, "I'm going to go home and get my gun and shoot whoever robbed my sister," Lipa, Walker's attorney, said.</p> <p>"A few seconds later, they came back just as they had threatened to do," she told the jury. </p> Amelia RuferTue, 25 Nov 2014 17:20:23 -0500http://homicidewatch.org/2014/11/25/prosecution-kevin-walkers-mind-was-made-up/Jamahl JenkinsJamie JenkinsKevin Antoine WalkerKevin Walker Pleads Innocent in Killing Brother and Sister Jamal, Jamie Jenkinshttp://homicidewatch.org/2014/03/14/kevin-walker-pleads-innocent-in-killing-brother-and-sister-jamal-jamie-jenkins/<p><a href="http://homicidewatch.org/suspects/kevin-walker/">Kevin Walker</a> plead innocent to all charges Friday in connection to the shooting death of siblings, <a href="http://homicidewatch.org/victims/jamie-jenkins/">Jamie Jenkins</a>, 28, and <a href="http://homicidewatch.org/victims/jamahl-jenkins/">Jamahl Jenkins</a>, 21 in July 2013.</p> <p>Walker is charged with two counts of first degree murder, two counts of possession of a firearm and one count of carrying a pistol without a license.<br /> <span id="more-21674"></span><br /> During an arraignment hearing Friday, prosecutor Magdalena Acevedo presented a plea offer that would charge Walker with two counts of second degree murder and drop all other charges.

If you see something, say something,” said Councilmember Alexander. </p> <p>“There are numerous enrichment programs and opportunities available to young people in the District of Columbia. It is vitally important that all of our families, neighbors, community leaders and elected officials work together to make sure that our young people utilize the tools that have been provided to them. In light of the case regarding the tragic death of Trayvon Martin and recent violence affecting our young people across the country, we must take it upon ourselves to value the lives of our African-American young men and young women before we can expect anyone else to. We must collectively instill a new system of values and morals in our young people so that they can see the value in the lives of each other.”</p></blockquote> Laura AmicoMon, 22 Jul 2013 15:28:28 -0400http://homicidewatch.org/2013/07/22/yvette-alexander-we-must-take-it-upon-ourselves-to-value-the-lives-of-our-african-american-young-men-and-young-women/Anthony ChaseJamahl JenkinsJamie JenkinsEric LeeperVigil Planned for Jamie and Jamahl Jenkinshttp://homicidewatch.org/2013/07/22/vigil-planned-for-jamie-and-jamahl-jenkins/<p><strong>Update:</strong> Councilwoman Yvette Alexander's office has confirmed that the vigil will be held in the 300 block of Ridge Rd SE at 7:30 p.m. Monday.
