Lewis Jackson was 34 when he was fatally shot while sitting in his car on October 4, 1996, in the 2900 block of Springhill Avenue in Baltimore. An assailant approached and fired multiple shots, ending Jackson’s life.

Rodney Addison was arrested after police developed a case that relied heavily on a primary witness’ account. In April 1998 Addison was convicted of second-degree murder and a handgun violation and given a 30-year sentence. At a post-conviction hearing the main witness recanted, saying she had been under the influence of drugs at the time and had not seen the shooting; additional statements surfaced that contradicted her original account, including that the suspect fled on foot rather than by bicycle, and a 1996 photo lineup in which another witness identified a different person as the shooter.

City prosecutors later dropped the charges against Addison, citing the inconsistencies and the undermined reliability of the original evidence. Does anyone have information about Lewis Jackson, his last movements that day, or witnesses who were in the Springhill Avenue area on October 4, 1996?
