On a summer evening in Buffalo, Dayana Jackson, 21, was fatally shot on Koons Avenue on June 28, 2020. The shooting came after a block party; she was struck in the chest and died of her injuries. Dayana was a mother to a three-year-old son, Kymere, and had worked two jobs, including caring for young children. She had graduated high school and hoped to become a neo-natal nurse.

Her parents are Shawntee A. Jackson and Grady Coleman. A GoFundMe was set up by her mother to help support Kymere, and Crimestoppers offered up to a $7,500 reward for information leading to an arrest. There have been no publicly announced arrests and no suspects named; the case remains an unsolved homicide in Buffalo.

If anyone knew Dayana or has information about what happened on Koons Avenue that night, please come forward to investigators.
