The plot thickens in the story of the former Jackson Academy student killed during a home invasion at the Park at Inverness apartments early Sunday morning. Thickens because the apartment was the home of a Jackson Academy student, thus making it less likely the crime was random in nature.
15 year-old Kaden Young and 18 year-old Quintavion Myles broke into the apartment at 2:30 AM Sunday. Expecting to find the apartment vacant, they were as surprised as the female resident when they burst in wearing ski masks. Frightened she was but the woman stood her ground as she shot Young. Young succumbed to his injuries.
JPD captured Myles later that day and charged him with burglary of an occupied dwelling and murder (under the felony-murder rule).
Jackson Municipal Court Judge Virginia Watkins denied bond for Myles on the murder charge and set his bond at $150,000 for the burglary charge.
The victim is the mother of a student at Jackson Academy who is an upperclassman. He enrolled at Jackson Academy in second grade.
Law enforcement sources said Young and Myles (allegedly) thought the student and his mother would be out of town, making their home ripe for the taking. The son was indeed gone but the mother present when the home invasion took place. It was a fatal mistake that cost a young man his life and will probably send another young man to prison for decades.
Young was a member of the Jackson Academy football team last fall as a freshman but did not return for the spring semester. There will be no more semesters for the Dorgan Street resident as he paid the ultimate price for his foolishness.
Kingfish note: Make no mistake, this was not a random crime as Kaden Young tried to victimize someone he knew from school. It's all fun and games until the bullets start flying and fly they did as the former Raider found out Sunday.

That's a really bad look for JA's athletic recruiting.
Do they have a crisis communications specialist hired yet?
Cautionary moment for Jackson Academy households to be armed and ready to rock when the time for action calls.
Stock up on your popcorn - there's gonna be a run on all the local supply.
There is probably a pattern starting to reveal itself here, I hope that someone smarter than me can figure it out…
JA is doomed.
I'm pretty sure the folks running JA won't figure it out.
They seem a little challenged in some ways.
I cant help you friend. I am not a bigot. I don’t notice patterns or try to think to hard about the past. I am always looking ahead. Blinders up. Maybe KF can give you his hot take?
Dorgan Street means you oughta be at Hillcrest, not JA.
Agree with 12:52 PM. Jackson Academy’s time might be beginning to dwindle.
How does Kingfish know the deceased lived on Dorgan St. Home of famed failed mayor Tony T Yarber.
And to all you JA parents saying he was a sweet kid... sure. Just be glad he hadn't been to your house to try and come back when he thought you were gone
Dorgan street means you oughta be at Wingfield. Buts it's closed. So I guess one of the Hills now. Jim or Forest. Both real nice from what I hear!
Thanks for the followup KF.
JA should close school for one day to honor their student. Have they issued a statement?
6’ 180 freshman. Does JA use a sliding scale calculation when choosing recruits?
weight + height / 40 yd dash = 💰
I just scanned JA's Facebook page and there is not one post about this tragedy. I wonder why?
jimmy is a coward.
I cant tell if he is incapable of accepting the truth, or if he is just scared that the actual truth will get his blog deplatformed.
Either way, dont expect more than vague references to whatever streaming content he consumes.
JJ’s core audience is also boomers and lets not get started on their eternal myopia
Kiss my ass
Standard liberal MO from @1:32. Name calling, generalizations, passive-aggressive accusations, and no actual facts to back the b.s. I don't know which way you lean, I don't care. You somehow manage to sound like a racist ass and a bleeding heart all at the same time. Impressive.
@1:32 and yet here you are
@1:57
show us on the doll where the libruls touched you, Ben
I'm not connected, but a JA parent regardless. I pay full tuition, with a small discount for a second child. We are involved in the athletics program and we are members of the booster club.
This entire situation has rattled my family. It was well known in the JA community after this tragic incident that the burglary attempt was on another JA student. I can tell you that the administration is embarrassed, but they aren't planning to do anything. Well, here's a suggestion.
To the Jackson Academy board: There are about four of you that need to step down immediately. Others need to apologize for being part of this circus.
To Eddie Wettach: You are not even one year into being headmaster and your leadership has been the worst in Jackson Academy's history. You should resign effective May 31 and let the school have a proper search for a headmaster.
To several members of the athletic staff: You should re-evaluate why you are coaching. You are supposed to be developing young men and women and most of you are not. Poaching talent from other schools to win games (looking at you football, volleyball and baseball) is what has caused all this disruption in the school's focus and mission. Whether it is legal or not is not the question - does it serve the mission of the school and it does not.
Teachers, Admissions and Communications professionals at JA: You are part of this problem as well. I know that some of you stood up against this and paid a price. Many parents see you and appreciate you. Once a new board is in place, hopefully you will get an apology.
Question - did Shay Hodge recruit the deceased to JA?
@2:16 Dealing with little bit of the “culture” is worth it to recruit thoroughbreeds althletes. Sorry but that is just fact. Did you already forget from just last weekend that the Single Biggest Event in this country is the Super Bowl?
Also, the Dow is over 50,000!
1:32 - seriously, GET A LIFE!!!
They are not sorry and are proud to be the champions of MAIS. Now about school choice…
A former Jackson Academy student and member of the JA football team (last fall as a freshman “that did not return for the spring semester”) is killed while breaking into the home of a current Jackson Academy student??? Seriously???
And all of those bleeding heart JA’ers on the other thread are crying for their JA criminal buddy that was committing a crime against another JA family? What about the poor JA parent/victim that had to defend her home?
To the JA Board of Trustees: many of us understand fully the thankless job you have and appreciate the valuable time that you contribute. But…..NOW is the time to step up and make the correct decision of taking control of this once phenomenal private school away from the meathead coaches and this failure to lead headmaster. A full audit of JA’s financials should be ordered and a new mission statement created immediately in order to get out ahead of a potential catastrophe.
And if JA’s Board of Trustees contains a majority of yes men/women committed to serving JA’s faculty instead of serving tuition paying parents and students, those on the Board of Trustees that are not corrupted, should resign in protest immediately for the sake of their own personal legacy.
Kaden Young is dead and Quintavion Myles lis currently locked up but you don't know how many other felons Kaden told about other fantastic JA related opportunities to rob and plunder.
I wouldn't want to bet the safety of my family on the hope that he only told this Myles guy about this one criminal opportunity.
Wise JA parents will be prepared in case more self defense leadicillin needs to be administered to other associates and friends of this dead JA attending felon.
"Dorgan Street means you oughta be at Hillcrest, not JA."
Which even further reiterates that these young lads are going after people from their school, JA, for some reason. They thought he was out of town and apparently had some suspicion their classmate had something they wanted.
Sorry.
1:32 is the one that needs to kiss my ass.
At JA winning isn't anything....it's everything.
2:16 should be running the school. Appears to be the smartest person in the room.
Man, seems to be a certain recently released email from a former student's mom is ringing true. Hurt feelings or not, she's right on the money. This couldn't have happened at a worse time from a JA public relations standpoint. These kids are watching their classmates at school and using it as an opportunity.
@2:48 PM
Must be that boomer myopia 😂
Maybe event this can be used as an example by the Voyles case against JA.
I’ll be waiting all weekend for Jackson Academy’s response……..
High school and college football are similar; the team with the most bat shit crazy fans tends to win.
My question is when did Young first enroll in JA?
They are Exhibit A in "Examples of Toxic Empathy".
It appears that Carolyn Voyles has more insight into what is going on at JA than the administration does. JA needs to do some housecleaning. The MAIS also needs to step up and take this opportunity to clean up the rules surrounding recruiting.
Has JA scrubbed Kaden Young former JA football player and former JA student from their website yet?
I bet Carolyn Voyles is glad she didn’t go to Jackson Academy now. Maybe she had pregnant classmates but not armed robbers…. If I had kids there, today would’ve been my last day.
I bet JA's response is slower on this one than the response to the Voyles...
We have a daughter and a son at Jackson Academy. We are in the lower school. This scares us to death. We are not well to do family and are happy to be there. It’s a struggle for us each month to pay tuition but we thought it was the best situation for our kids. I am rethinking that situation. I’m also wondering if we should add security to our house or start arming ourselves. This is scary for a family at Jackson Academy
I think they want to pretend it didn't happen.
Or maybe they are still trying to come up with some more excuses.
Do they think they can expel anyone who talks about it?
