On social media, friends and community members shared their grief and sent prayers to Fulmore’s family. Terri Scott posted, "To all my prayer warriors, please send up an extra prayer for the family of Jaeshawn Fulmore. He was in a fatal car wreck last night, and he was only 24. My daughter worked with him. He was a sweet young man. My prayers go out to his family—no parent should ever have to bury their child. Rest easy and fly high, young man." Others, like Dolly Shepherd, added, "God Bless All The Family," while Naomi Brown echoed the sentiment, saying, "Prayers going up."
