FON DOCKERY is now a Gun Safety Advocate, after his family suffered a tragic loss.
Nearly two years after eight-year-old Jenesis Dockery died from a gunshot caused by her babysitter’s son, her family is suing to hold his family responsible for her death. Civil rights attorneys Harry Daniels and Chimeaka White joined members of Dockery’s family and their supporters outside the Cumberland County Courthouse in Fayetteville to announce the wrongful death lawsuit Tuesday morning. The lawsuit accuses Chrystle Michael and Thomas Michael, the mother and grandfather of the 11-year-old boy who caused the gun to be fired, of negligence leading to the fatal shooting in 2023.
