What they're saying:
Family members told FOX 26 that Jaquai, who went by the nickname "Quay", was an 8th grader at Rowe Middle School in Cy-Fair ISD.
"He's not a bad kid. He's not out robbing, he's not out killing, he's not doing none of that. He's just a kid running around being a kid," his cousin Kelvin Sarver said. "They say some guys rolled up, shot him in the face."
Sarver continued, "This is my little cousin that be over here every day, at my house every day with my kids. I've got kids the same age. It's hard. I immediately just broke down."
