HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) – A teenage girl was among two people who were shot and killed by security guards outside a pop-up teen club in Hillsborough County on Monday night.

Jyhaad D. Grant, 25, and Julissa D. Jackson, 15, were found dead inside a vehicle after they were shot by two security guards who said they feared for their lives. Grant and Jackson were Tampa residents.

Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded a 911 call at 11:30 pm about a shooting at a facility known as “The Club” located at 5809 50th St. N.

The facility is a storage building that is rented out for events.

About 150 to 200 people were attending a teen night “Pajama Jam” from 8 p.m. until midnight on Monday. The event closed early at 10:45 p.m. because of multiple fights, deputies said.

Investigators said the crowd was in the process of leaving when the armed security guards heard fireworks and then gun shots.

The security guards were investigating where the gun shots were coming from and saw a person firing a gun from a car, according to deputies.

Both security guards returned fire in fear of their lives, deputies said.

Grant and Jackson were found dead inside the vehicle. When deputies arrived, most of the crowd had left the scene.

Deputies have not yet released any details about who was shooting from the car or whether a gun was located.

Jackson leaves behind a 2-month-old son, according to her great-grandmother Elease Moore.

“She said ‘grandmamma, I’ll be right back, l’ll be back.’ She got halfway out the door and smiled and that was the last time I saw her alive,” Moore said.

Grant leaves behind a 2-month-old girl and his girlfriend of eight years.

Grant’s girlfriend, Angel Madison, said despite being arrested in the past, Grant was working to change his life around after learning he would become a father.

“I’ll let her know that he really, really loved her,” Madison said.

A GoFundMe account has been set up to raise funds for Grant’s funeral.

Madison said Grant was friends with Jackson’s family.

She said Jackson and her friends asked Grant to take them to the party and he decided to stay since he was already there.

What’s a pop-up club?

[DoughtyOne]

Well, that’s one more issue isn’t it.

There must be around ten here.

One that might not have occurred to folks, if he was turning his life around, isn’t that indicative of him being on parole? There’s a good chance of it.

Here his is hanging out at a peripheral high crime activity event, (most likely) with liquor, with a gun, possibly discharging it in pubic, with a minor female.

If this was turning his life around, what was his original heavy duty problem? LOL

Yes, you should always let your teens go to a party at a storage place. I heard on WFLA this morning that the victims were shooting at the security guards.

[Trillian]

You’ve got that right.

At top speed, no doubt.

15 y.o. with a 2 month old child was likely licking the licorice stick at age 14.

But according to BJ Clintoon that wasn’t sex.

They aren’t as popular in the AA community. I saw a cashier at Winn Dixie with a name X’enya’ette. Why do they give their kids crazy names?

Here are the adventures of Mr. Jyhaad Dassing Grant in Hillsborough County Florida, in the years 2013-2016, in no particular order -

 

Unlawfully carrying concealed firearm

Resisting officer w/violence

Battery on LEO/Firefighter/EMS/ETC.

Possession of Marujuana over 20 grams

Uttering a forged instrument (x 3)

Grand theft (Robbery), 300 L/5,000

 

 

Am gonna go out on a limb and say the gun was his.

 

"Working to change his life around" - depends on what one's definition of work is.

No, the 25 year old is a friend of the 15 year old family. The security guards are blacks, too.

[calenel]

Plus, wouldn’t this 25 year old impregnating a 15 year old (who was probably 14 at the time) be statutory rape for anybody else?

You're about the fifth person on this thread to make that assumption. The 25-year-old was not involved with or the father of the 15-year-old's child. Two separate "newborns" from two separate sets of parents. He, apparently, was just he chauffeur.

[DoughtyOne]

Yes, that’s pretty much what I expected.

When she said he was working,... I winced.

It does depend on the understanding of the word “working” doesn’t it.

[TChad]

Apparently this is the colored spelling of "Jihad". What a surprise.

Jyhaad D. == Jihadi.

[Panhandle.deporable]

Not 24-7 on CNN or msnbc only because security guards were black. If they had been white the “reverend” al Sharpton would have already caused a riot. Saw al once. I kid you not . He is surrounded at all times by 5 black muslem security guards.

That's not how one gets pregnant.

15 year old with a 2 month old kid out to midnight ...Hmmmm....

It's an easy assumption to make. Both left behind 2-month old kids. Most people just glance through the article (if even that much), so easy to mis-read. And a 25 year old out with a 15 year old, going to a teen lingerie party? Combined with that culture, there's a good chance they were sleeping together, even if both kids were with other parents.
