Last week out gay 15-year-old Jason Madison, Jr. was found murdered in his aunt’s house. And that is about the only thing that is clear right now.

From the Baltimore Sun:

When someone harassed [Jason] in the halls of West Baltimore’s Vivian T. Thomas Medical Arts Academy, he had a sharp, witty comeback at the ready, and he walked away smiling.

Last week, at his aunt’s house, one of the few occupied homes on a block boarded and sagging, he was found dead – raped, gagged with a pillowcase, stabbed repeatedly in the head and throat, and shoved into an upstairs closet.

Police found his body in the back of a second-floor closet. Charging documents say that “several witnesses were identified and positively identified defendant Dante Parrish as the person responsible for this act.”

Baltimore police spokesman would say only that Jason “was staying at his aunt’s house.” It was there that Jason met Parrish, with whom the spokesman said the teen had a “forced sexual relationship.”

Parrish had been released early from prison, where he had been serving time for murder. He confessed to the murder two days after committing it. Officers were able to apprehend him without incident after a 20-minute standoff.

Jason’s family reported that the 35-year-old Parrish had been stalking Madison, making sexually explicit comments what he wanted to do to the boy.

I don’t know what “forced sexual relationship” means, especially considering the comments from Madison’s family. Heartbreaking.
