Rhys, who would have turned 12 a month after his death, had just left Broad Square Primary School on
the Norris Green housing estate, and was due to start secondary school at Fazakerley High School in
September 2007.

Rhys Jones was known to be a boy who was eager to learn everything and anything.
His headteacher and neighbours said that Rhys was a friendly, popular boy, and mad about football.

Rhys, who played for The Fir Tree Boys football club, was on his way home from football practice
with two friends. As he was crossing the Fir Tree pub car park, on Fir Tree Drive South in the
Croxteth Park estate, Liverpool, a hooded youth riding a silver mountain bike approached. He then
held out a handgun at arm's length firing three shots. It was originally believed that one of the
shots hit Rhys in the neck.

However, during the trial the pathologist revealed the bullet had entered his back "slightly above
the left shoulder blade" and that it had then "exited from the front right side of his neck". The
shooting occurred in daylight at 7.30 pm BST.

Rhys's mother rushed to the scene when she heard what had happened.By the time his mother had
reached him, Rhys was unconscious. Paramedics tried for one and a half hours to resuscitate him, but
he was pronounced dead some time later in Liverpool's Alder Hey Children's Hospital.

I did not know you Rhys, but my heart and soul are aching because of what has happened to you. Although I'm not very religious, I hope that you will walk hand-in-hand and side-by-side, with your brave family now and forever, and, in the way that it appears you did in your life, give them the strength to love and laugh again.

sweet dreams Rhys

My heart goes out to your family, i can't emagine what they feel, numb, shock, lost, in a dream, why's if's and but's the list goes on. This has upset alot of people and brought me to tears, the UK has had a major shock. The one who pulled the trigger, YOU WILL BE CAUGHT you scum of the earth and don't deserve to be on this plannet. You took away a normal, happy little boy who did nothing. Rhys's parents and brother stay strong because good always overpowers EVIL. R.I.P little man xxx

Such a tragic loss, you had the rest of your life ahead of you and what right did the people who took your life have. Our thoughts are with your family and friends. If there is a heaven I hope that it is a better place for you.

So Sad

I can't believe this gorgeous little evertonian has had is life robbed in this horrible way, Enough is enough now we need to have the SCUM who did this and his idiot gang mates sent down and punished. These people who know something but are not saying anything because they think they are 'grassin', well in my mind and the majority of decent Liverpool peoples eyes you are worse than the Scum that pulled that trigger. I have been brought up here in this City and I know what people say they will do if you Grass, you arenot grassin you are doing the decent thing for this little boy, just look at his poor mum,dad and brothers pain etched on their face and do the decent thing and tell someone don't let this happen to anyone else.
R.I.P babe you will be up there playing footie and safe. Look over your mum, dad and Owen,they and the rest of the UK will never forget you.
I pray that justice is done soon.
Goodnight God Bless sweetheart

gods lent child

I’ll lend you for a little while a child of mine, God said,

For you to love the while he lives, and mourn for when he’s dead.

It may be ten or eleven, or forty two or three,

But will you, ‘til I call him back, take care of him for me?

He’ll bring his charms to gladden you. And should his stay be brief,

You’ll always have your memories as solace in your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return,

But there are lessons taught below I want this child to learn.

I’ve looked this whole world over in my search for teachers true,

And from the folk that crowd life’s lane, I have chosen you.

Now will you give him all your love and not think the labour vain,

Nor hate me when I come to take this lent child back again.

I fancy that I heard them say, ‘Dear God Thy will be done’,

For all the joys this child will bring, the risk of grief we’ll run.

We will shelter him with tenderness, we’ll love him while we may,

And for all the happiness we’ve ever known, we’ll ever grateful stay.

But should the angels call him much sooner than we’d planned,

We will brace the bitter grief that comes and try to understand.



God’s Lent Boy

I feel deeply saddened for Rhys' family, so shocked about whats happened. I hope they catch the scum who did this, we all need to stand up to these thugs that are ruining this Great country. Love to the Jones', and a great deal of sympathy.

Sassymac (Evertonian) August 27, 2007

Why is it, that little yobs can carry guns but not our police officers? Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. I'm sorry your young lad was in the wrong place at the wrong time. The world is full of bad people, and unfortionately it's getting worser everyday, because our government would rather sort out other countrie's problems than its own! The killer of your son will be bought to justice and he best hope the police get to him before a mob do! God bless you.
