While detectives were at the scene, a small gathering of family members and neighbors congregated outside.

According to Danielle Jackson, her nephew is visiting from his West Bank home to fetch some cash for his nine-year-old child’s food.

“He had mental health problems, just like me,” she remarked about their relationship. We therefore rested on one another.

Danielle kept saying, “He was an amazing father.” “A truly wonderful father.”

Nearby, Joseph Jackson’s uncle and cousin were also present; one of the men was standing with his hands on his head while tears streamed down his face.

Danielle Jackson reassured her. “It’s going to be alright, baby.” “Darling, he will be in a better place.”
