THE F.T.P HONOREE: JESELLE PAGE Jeselle Page acted spontaneously doing what came natural to her on a humid Sunday afternoon when bullets blazed dangerously near the park where she found herself with her beloved nephew, R.J. Gomez for whom she had been babysitting. Having already taken a fatal bullet to the chest, Page sprung into action snatching up the child while running and shielding him with her own wounded body. A Harlem native, Page had just relocated to Brooklyn where her life ended as a result of a senseless gunfight between two men on Morris Street in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn. A Harlem native, page had just relocated to Brooklyn where her life ended as a result of a senseless gunfight. . .Clearly, Page thought nothing about her recent lottery winnings or new apartment that she’d purchased with a portion of the lucky loot.
