Family Seeks Help For 6 Year Old Killed In Youngsville Tragedy

A local family is asking for the community’s support following the heartbreaking loss of a 6 year old boy killed in a tragic shooting in the Youngsville area.

Loved ones have identified the child as Jasper, a young boy described as bright, loving, and deeply cherished by his family.

In the wake of the tragedy, a GoFundMe has been launched by family members to help Jasper’s mother cover funeral and memorial expenses during what they describe as an unimaginable time.

Remembering Jasper

In a message shared on the fundraiser page, family member Alyia Broussard described the devastating loss and the impact Jasper had on those around him.

“He was a bright, loving little boy who meant the world to everyone who knew him,” the post reads.

The fundraiser explains that Jasper’s mother was not financially prepared for such an unexpected loss, including the cost of funeral arrangements.

In addition, Jasper’s stepfather, who works offshore, had to return home immediately and will be unable to work during this time as he supports his family.
