The disturbing playlists we uncovered.

111624.

This is the title of a playlist discovered on a Spotify profile appearing to belong to Jaylen’s killer. The profile contained pictures of the killer and was linked to the profiles of his friends, suggesting it was his.

This playlist appeared to have been created in March 2025, three months after Jaylen’s murder on 11.16.24. It was filled with songs about killing and violence. 

Not long after we discovered it, the title was scrubbed—changed to a set of combat helmet emojis.

 
Later, a new playlist appeared on this profile with a title in Mandarin. This title translated to a severely derogatory racist slur: “F***ing N***er.”

This playlist was eventually deleted.

The discovery of these playlists was deeply upsetting and disturbing. One appears to commemorate Jaylen’s murder as a night to remember—like a trophy—and the other is a display of violent racism. 

On the third slide is an excerpt from the police report. Two weeks after Jaylen was killed, a friend of the killer reported that he had previously shown her videos of people being murdered. 

Together with the text the killer sent bragging about Jaylen’s death, does this sound like someone who killed in self-defense? Is this someone who is traumatized and remorseful about stabbing someone to death, as his family and attorneys have claimed?

We're almost to 1000 signatures! Please continue to share this petition and Jaylen's story so that a jury can review critical evidence like this. These details are hard to hear but they cannot go unaddressed.

No family should have to endure such callousness and cruelty on top of grief, trauma, and a frustrating lack of justice. Our leaders need to know that we won't let them sweep this under the rug, and your signatures are an important part of that fight.

With gratitude,
The Reeves Family
