In Loving Memory of Jessica “SweetLove” — “JBO” A light that will never fade
The city of Jackson is grieving once again, wrapped in heartbreak and stunned silence, following the tragic loss of a woman remembered fondly by many as Jessica “SweetLove,” affectionately known as “JBO.” Her life was cut short on November 9, 2025, in a shooting that has shaken a community, leaving behind sorrow, disbelief, and a longing to understand how such a warm and loving soul could be taken so soon.
Capitol police responded to a residence on Meadowbrook Drive just before 11:45 a.m. that morning. Inside the home, officers found Jessica, who had suffered a fatal gunshot wound. Though a suspect was taken into custody at the scene, details remain under investigation, and authorities have not yet officially released the names of those involved. What is known, however, is the devastating truth: a daughter, a friend, a cousin, a mother-figure, and a cherished member of her circle is gone.
A Heart Felt Before Her Name Was Spoken
Jessica was someone whose presence was felt before her voice was heard. She carried herself with a gentle boldness—soft when she needed to be, and strong when life demanded it. Those who knew her described her smile as contagious, her laugh as uplifting, and her spirit as one that naturally drew people in. She had a way of making you feel understood, even on days when you couldn’t find the words for what you were going through.
Whether she was joking around with loved ones, lifting up someone who had lost their way, or simply being present, Jessica had a gift for loving deeply and living authentically. Her nickname “SweetLove” wasn’t just a name—it was the truth of who she was. She gave love freely, and she gave it without hesitation.
She Was “JBO” — a Presence, a Vibe, a Blessing
“JBO” wasn’t just what people called her. It was a symbol. A signature. A reminder of how she stood out — uniquely, confidently, purposefully.
She had a style all her own. A voice full of soul. A way of commanding a room without ever demanding attention.
The people closest to her describe her as:
- The friend who would pull up when no one else would.
- The one who checked on others, even while fighting her own battles.
- The heartbeat of her circle — the one everyone was happy to see.
And now, that absence sits heavy.
Gone Too Soon, Loved Forever
Violence has once again stolen a life that deserved time, growth, peace, and celebration. What remains now is memory — and memory is powerful.
Jessica leaves behind family members who loved her deeply, friends who will never forget her, and a community shaken by the suddenness of her departure. Her name, her personality, her energy… all of these will continue to move through the lives of those who loved her.
This is not goodbye.
This is “we will carry you with us.”

Your story does not end here. Your memory continues in every heart you touched. Rest in Power. Rest in Peace. Rest in Love. Forever Jessica “SweetLove” — JBO. 🕊️💗
