Delusional Family Cheers On Son In Court Who Just Brutally Ended The Life Of Other Son

Published by Tony Brueski on

A 17-year-old boy is behind bars after allegedly fatally shooting his 20-year-old brother during an argument at their Fall River home. Prosecutors say Jaylen Lambert shot and killed Jaleale Simmons on Saturday afternoon after the two brothers began to fight, leaving Simmons with a single gunshot wound to the chest.

Officers with the Fall River Police Department responded to the 900 block of Rodman Street and discovered Simmons suffering from a life-threatening injury. Emergency personnel transported him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

According to the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office, the confrontation began as a physical altercation, with the brothers’ mother attempting to separate them and pushing Simmons into a bedroom. Lambert allegedly left the home but returned shortly afterward, this time carrying a firearm with an extended magazine. Prosecutors said he then fired a single shot into his brother’s chest.

During Lambert’s arraignment, the teenager stood quietly, shaking his head as prosecutors detailed their case. Supporters in the courtroom reportedly yelled words of encouragement, including “We love you” and “It’s all right!”

Lambert faces charges of murder, possession of a large capacity firearm, and possession of a firearm without a firearm identification card. Under Massachusetts law, juvenile courts cannot handle first- or second-degree murder cases if the defendant is over 16, meaning Lambert will be tried as an adult.

Defense attorney Frank D. Camera expressed sympathy for the family while also indicating that he believes Lambert has been “overcharged,” calling the case “a manslaughter.” He said he intends to examine what led to the tragic event and noted that a witness claimed the brothers often argued.

Lambert, a student and basketball player at B.M.C. Durfee High School, is being held without bond in the Bristol County Jail. He is scheduled to appear at a probable cause hearing on April 25.
