Victim in deadly Cinco de Mayo Parade shooting warned of own death a day earlier

To friends and family of 19-year-old Andreas DeJesus, it was no surprise that he was gunned down at the annual Cinco de Mayo Parade in Detroit.

In fact, DeJesus himself alluded on Facebook to being “clapped” – or shot – a day before a 25-year-old fatally shot him once in the chest at the crowded corner of Vernor and Ferdinand on Sunday.

It shouldn’t have been much of a surprise to police, either. Parents as recently as last week told cops about mounting tensions between gang members, many of whom are young teenagers with guns.

Most people knew DeJesus as “Noodles” or by his gang name, “Oso.”

DeJesus has a 2-year-old boy and was expecting another child.

“There is going to be retaliation, but this time it’s going to be younger kids dying – 14, 15 years old,” one mother told me, asking not to be identified for fear of retaliation. “They were already talking about it last night.”

Police have extra units patrolling southwest Detroit to quell violence as gang members – some as young as 12 years old – pledge payback. Some parents are even keeping their children home from school.

The brazen gunman shot DeJesus just feet from a police officer, who apprehended the suspect moments later.  

Friends mourned his death on social media.
