There’s another victim to the violence. On Friday night we told you about thirty-nine year old Jessim Gladden who was hospitalized in a critical condition after he being shot multiple times last Thursday night. Well, Gladden succumbed around eleven-thirty on Friday night to gunshot wounds to the head and abdomen.  Gladden, who is the brother of Darren Banks, was hanging out with friends on Flamboyant Street when a gunman appeared through an alley and opened fire on him.  He was hit in the cheek, shoulder, abdomen and back.  No one has been detained for Gladden’s murder and police investigations continue.
