Just moments before her untimely death, 26-year-old Jenel Pollymore, a dedicated mother of three, pleaded for her life from her abusive ex-partner during a wedding reception in Linden. Witnesses reported that she cried out, “don’t kill me,” as he shot her. Madonna Pollydore, Jenel’s stepmother, recounted the harrowing moment during a social media livestream.
Jenel had decided to separate from Shaka Phillips, the father of her youngest child, due to ongoing abuse and had sought a restraining order against him. Madonna revealed that pressure had escalated over the last two weeks, culminating in threats from Phillips, including suicidal tendencies. Despite reaching out to law enforcement for assistance, their pleas for protection went unheeded. They were advised to file a restraining order, which was set to go into effect on June 22, 2025.
Concerned for Jenel’s safety, family members attempted to secure help, but police responses were lackluster, citing resource constraints. Days leading up to the incident were filled with fear as Phillips continued to harass Jenel, even breaking into her space, prompting the family to change locks.
The unfortunate climax occurred on Saturday night when Phillips confronted Jenel at the hotel, leading to a fatal shooting. A police presence arrived post-tragedy, prompting Madonna to question their lack of intervention earlier. The family is wrestling with their loss as they seek justice for Jenel, a woman known for her generous spirit.
Phillips has since been apprehended, but for Jenel’s family, the emotional scars remain deep.
