Jamari Cortez Bonaparte Jackson was a 12-year-old student who was shot in a hallway at Tanglewood Middle School in Greenville, South Carolina, on March 31, 2022. The shooting occurred around 12:30 p.m. during a class change in the school’s 700 wing. A school resource officer summoned emergency backup; Jamari was shot in the chest, taken to Prisma Health Greenville Memorial Hospital, and pronounced dead at 1:05 p.m.

Authorities identified the shooter as another 12-year-old student, Jordan Williams Jr., who fled the campus after the shooting. A search involving more than 200 law enforcement officers ended about an hour later when deputies found Williams hiding under the deck of a nearby home on Easley Bridge Road. He was taken into custody and officers recovered a handgun.

Jamari’s family released a statement asking for privacy while they grieved. At his funeral on April 9, family, friends, and teachers gathered to honor him. Does anyone have information about Jamari’s time at Tanglewood or details that could add to the record of what happened that day?
