A family in Battle Creek, Michigan, is looking for justice after their son, who was a high school honors student and 17 years old, was reportedly gunned down and murdered by two younger adolescents after he volunteered to give them a ride.

Jack Snyder, 17, was on his way home from his girlfriend’s house around midnight when he picked up a 13-year-old and a 14-year-old who was walking in temperatures that were below freezing, according to Sgt. Chris Rabbitt of the Battle Creek Police Department, spoke to Fox News Digital about the incident.

“On this night, [Snyder] was attempting to do what he felt was the right thing by providing a ride to these two younger kids walking in the frigid weather,” said Rabbitt. “[Snyder] offered a ride to these two younger kids because he thought it was the right thing to do.” “The night was a horrible one — it was very cold, windy, snowy, and it rained.”

On the evening of February 17, Rabbit accused the individuals under suspicion of having “evil intent” and of conspiring against Jack after they entered Jack’s car. They reportedly shot him twice in an attempt to carjack him, but they were unsuccessful.

“This is an extremely tragic situation,” Rabbitt said, adding that the victim was a “17-year-old young man who was getting ready to pursue his dreams after high school, doing… all the normal things a 17-year-old would do.” Rabbitt described the victim as a “young man who was getting ready to pursue his dreams after high school.”

He was “a really decent child. It is a terrible tragedy that Jack had to pass away, as well as the fact that the lives of two other young boys have been irreparably altered “explained Rabbitt.

On Facebook, members of the Battle Creek Firefighters IAFF Local 335 said that police had received reports of gunfire at the intersection of Battle Creek Avenue and Capitol SW. Officers “discovered Jack on the road, close to his car” when they arrived at the scene of the accident involving Jack, a student at Battle Creek Central High School.

It was determined that he had passed away at the site.

Before bullets were fired, there were reportedly observed to be two little boys in Jack’s automobile. According to the authorities, they fled on foot.

The fire department said that one of the suspects wore a black and red jacket and had “long, unkempt hair.” The other suspect had a black jacket with white patches and a “ski-mask-style cap,” according to the fire department.

The authorities requested that nearby residents check the video from their security cameras to see if anything suspicious occurred between 11:30 p.m. on February 16 and 1 a.m. on February 17 and to contact the authorities if they observed someone who matched the characteristics provided.

After receiving “a significant number of tips from the community” and using “surveillance camera systems at multiple locations throughout the area,” Rabbitt told the outlet that the two alleged suspects have since been arrested. Investigators were able to “track their movements” with the assistance of the surveillance camera systems.

After his arrest on February 19, the juvenile has been charged with two counts of felony homicide, one count of felony carjacking, and two counts of criminal possession of guns.

As reported by WWMT, he entered a not-guilty plea at his arraignment on Friday, but he was still unable to post bail. The request for a reply was not immediately met with a response from his attorney.

The juvenile, who was just 13 years old, was charged with first-degree murder and carjacking.

It was in line with Jack’s and his family’s natural for him to do something for the benefit of others, such as taking up two young strangers and bringing them inside out of the cold.

“If you know them, they are so modest and would give their own shirt off their back to anyone in need.” Every little bit adds up. Please accept my thanks in advance. #JusticeforJack.”

The fundraising effort has already exceeded its original target of $8,000 by bringing in close to $27,000.

According to Jack’s obituary, he was a “light-hearted, gregarious, athletic, and amusing individual.” Jack enjoyed playing soccer. One who made an indelible imprint on all those who had the opportunity to interact with him.

He was a member of the National Honor Society in addition to being active in Link Crew and the American Red Cross. He was looking forward to completing his education at Grand Valley State University. He is survived by his parents, two sisters, and a brother, as well as his maternal grandmother, paternal grandmother, girlfriend, and close friends. He also leaves behind his grandparents on both sides of his family.
