    In Loving Memory of  Jacoi Cosey

    It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we remember Jacoi Cosey, an 18-year-old from Reserve, Louisiana, whose life was tragically cut short on the evening of July 22, 2026. His untimely passing has left an immeasurable void in the hearts of his family, friends, and everyone who knew and loved him.

    According to the St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded at approximately 9:38 p.m. to reports of a shooting near the intersection of Northwest First Street and Railroad Avenue in Reserve. When officers arrived, they discovered Cosey in the back seat of a vehicle suffering from gunshot wounds. Despite the efforts of first responders, he was pronounced deceased at the scene.

    The tragic circumstances surrounding Cosey’s passing have deeply affected the Reserve community. As investigators worked diligently to determine what happened, loved ones were left grieving the loss of a young man whose future held endless possibilities.

    Over the course of the investigation, St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff’s Office detectives identified three suspects in connection with the case: Brandon Blackmore, 20, of LaPlace; Tyshley Marks, 22, of Reserve; and Emanuel Rayfield Jr., 17, of Reserve. Authorities stated that all three were arrested and booked on charges of armed robbery with a firearm and second-degree murder. Investigators allege that Cosey was robbed of his firearm during the incident. Each of the three suspects was arrested on Thursday, July 23, 2026, and is being held under a $475,000 bond as the legal process moves forward.

    While the investigation continues through the justice system, those who loved Cosey are focused on remembering the life he lived rather than the circumstances of his passing. He was more than the subject of a news report—he was a son, a relative, a friend, and a member of the Reserve community whose life touched many others. His smile, presence, and the memories he created with those closest to him will remain treasured forever.

    The loss of someone so young is especially heartbreaking. Dreams that had yet to be fulfilled, milestones that had yet to be celebrated, and moments that should have been shared with loved ones have been taken away far too soon. Though words cannot ease the pain of such a devastating loss, they can serve as a reminder that Cosey’s life mattered and that he will continue to be remembered by all who cared for him.

    During this incredibly difficult time, we extend our deepest condolences to Cosey’s family, friends, classmates, and the entire Reserve community. May they find comfort in one another, strength through their shared memories, and peace in knowing that Cosey’s life made a lasting impact on those around him.

    As the community mourns, may everyone continue to keep Cosey’s loved ones in their thoughts and prayers while allowing the judicial process to unfold. May justice be pursued with fairness, and may his family be granted the support they need in the days ahead.

    Rest in peace, Cosey. Though your life ended far too soon, your memory will live on forever in the hearts of those who knew and loved you. You will never be forgotten.

    According to the Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office, Michael lost his life after being struck by a vehicle in the 5000 block of McKnight Road. First responders, including police officers, firefighters, and paramedics, were dispatched to the scene shortly before 10:00 p.m. Despite their efforts, this devastating tragedy claimed the life of a young teenager whose future held so much promise.

    Michael’s passing is an unimaginable loss for his family, friends, classmates, neighbors, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

    Ross Township Police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident as they work to determine exactly what happened. During the emergency response, McKnight Road was temporarily closed in both directions between Patrick Place and Seibert Road before later reopening.

    While the investigation continues, our thoughts remain focused on Michael and the family who now face an overwhelming loss. No parent should have to endure the heartbreak of losing a child, and no community is ever fully prepared for the passing of one of its young members.
