Daequan "Hootiie" Nix was a loving boy who got shot and killed. He is survived by his mother Renee Vail and his sister BreAna Nix. He was born on March 1, 1995 and died on July 15, 2010. He went to Indianola Math Science and Technology Middle School and attended Brookhaven High School where he played football and ran track.
Daequan Nix was found lying in front of a home in the 1400 block of North Fourth Street at about 11:40 p.m. on a Wednesday. A teen was arrested early Saturday and accused of fatally shooting another teenage boy. Police said they arrested a 16-year-old boy for allegedly shooting Daequan Nix, 15. Malyk Shelby pulled the trigger, police said.
Nix's mother told 10TV News that the shooting stemmed from a fight over a girl.
"That was my baby. My youngest," said Nix's mother, Renee Vail. "Can't bring his life back so they probably need to be locked up for a long, long time. Forever." Shelby's mother, Kimyatta Smith, said she wanted the Nix family to know she was sorry. Smith said her son told her he was no where near the area when the shooting happened.
"He just said 'mom, I never did it, I wasn't outside," Smith said. "I just want to get to the bottom of it. I want his family to know that my heart goes out to them."
Vail said she accepts Smith's apology.
"I accept her apology," Vail said. "It's not her fault and these teenagers are just making bad decisions."
Friends and family held a candlelight vigil in his honor on Sunday, July 18.
