LIMERICK â A 13-year-old boy sobbed uncontrollably as prosecutors played for a judge the home surveillance videotape they allege depicts the boy firing the gunshot that fatally wounded his younger sister inside their Upper Providence home.
Jahâsir Vasquez, of the 100 block of Larchwood Court, buried his face in the arms of Alana M. Hook, director of policy and social services for the Montgomery County Office of the Public Defender, as the sounds of the gunshot and his 12-year-old sister Jasiyahâs screams blared from the recording played during his preliminary hearing on homicide-related charges before District Court Judge Richard H. Welsh.
