Jasmine "Jazzy" Lee was just 15 years old when she was tragically taken from us. She was energetic
and full of life. She will be missed.
Jasmine "Jazzy" Lee, a ninth-grader at Hodgson Vocational Technical High School, died early Sunday
from injuries suffered when she was shot in the head about 7 p.m. Saturday at the home where her
mother lived in the 100 block of Minquadale Ave.
Corey L. Barbour, 19, of the 100 block of Chestnut Crossing Drive, was charged with manslaughter,
weapon offenses and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
He is being held in the Young Correctional Institution in lieu of $140,000 bail and faces a hearing
on the charges.
According to court records, Barbour was prohibited from possessing a firearm due to a second-degree
robbery conviction on Dec. 5, 2006, in Family Court, and another weapon conviction in Superior Court
on Oct. 10, 2008.
Barbour was in the bedroom with Lee and a 16-year-old girl when a .357 Magnum Ruger revolver went
off after he pulled it from his waistband, police said.
Lee, who relatives said was setting her hair at the time, was hit by the bullet.
"She never seen it coming," said her cousin Del-nita Outlaw, 31, of Elkton, Md.
"I'm sure this is very shocking to the community, as it is to us as well,". "Anytime there is a loss
of life, especially a 15-year-old, it's shocking."
Barbour is the father of Lee's 17-year-old sister Ashley's baby.
Lee, described by her cousin as funny, energetic and bright.
Lee lived with her grandmother and Sister in Kimberton, near Newark.
Kathy Demarest, spokeswoman for the New Castle County Vocational Technical School District, said the
high school had counselors and psychologists available to students and staff members Tuesday in the
wake of the tragedy.
Lee was a freshman assigned to the exploratory program, Demarest said.
She had not yet selected a career program to follow.
Outlaw said her cousin had just finished beautician studies, but really wanted to go into nursing.
A viewing will be held from 10 to 11 a.m. Monday at New Destiny Fellowship Church at 906 E. 16th St.
in Wilmington.
A funeral service immediately follows
She leaves to Cherish her Memory, Her Gandmother Patricia who was always by her side, Her Mother
Laura Lee and Step-father Curtis Taylor, Her loving and special "Auntie" Melva Lee-Linton and Her
Sister Ashley Lee and her Neice Cor'Jae Barbour. She also leaves a large host of Uncles, aunts,
cousin and many friends.
THINKING OF YOU ALL
When you look into the sky
and see a shining star
think of me and send a kiss
i'm never very far
When you see the moonlight
dancing on the sea
feel a kiss brush on your cheek
thats a kiss from me
When the sun is bright upon the fields
and there's flowers everywhere
if you look a little closer
you'll see me over there
When the snow is falling hard
and sparkling on the ground
feel the flakes upon your face
and know that i'm around
when you see a glistening raindrop
or the grass all covered in dew
don't let your heart feel heavy
just remember 'I LOVE YOU'
