24-year-old Javone Duncan was given 15 years in jail for killing 17-year-old Rae’Lynn Cameron in 2022. The terrible events took place at a party in East New York, Brooklyn, in October 2022.
Duncan, who was 22 at the time, made romantic moves toward Cameron. Duncan’s pride was hurt when Cameron turned him down and told him to “suck my d–k.”
Because he was angry about being turned down, he pulled out a gun and shot Cameron once in the chest.
The young woman was killed by a bullet. Her mother called her a “diamond, a gem, a powerful force.” Duncan left the scene of the crime, leaving Cameron to die from his wound.
The office of the Kings County District Attorney worked hard to bring Duncan to justice, which led to his arrest and sentencing.

During the trial, the prosecutors said some very disturbing things about Duncan’s actions that night.
Before the fatal shot, he pointed his gun at another young woman and turned the safety on and off, which scared the people there.
People at the party even told him to put the gun away and warned him about how dangerous he was being. Cameron’s life was tragically cut short because these warnings were not heard.
In March 2024, Javone Duncan was found guilty of killing. This was a small relief for Cameron’s family and friends.
Duncan will have to pay for what he did with the 15-year sentence the judge gave him on Tuesday.
“This senseless shooting took the life of a young woman with a bright future,” said Gonzalez, the district attorney. Today’s sentence makes the offender responsible for what he did and gives the victim’s family some justice.
Cassandra Adams, Cameron’s mother, gave an emotional victim impact statement at the sentence.
Her words showed how much she missed Cameron and how much pain his actions have caused her.
“This senseless crime has broken me beyond words.” “Just being found guilty won’t take away the pain I will feel for the rest of my life,” Adams said.
She said her daughter was a “beautiful, smart, intelligent, dancing diva” who would do great things in life. Cameron wasn’t just a victim; she was a young woman with hopes and goals whose life was tragically cut short.
