Kelvin KJ Jackett Sr., 51, was killed on October 17, 2022, after a violent family altercation at the home the family shared in Eastvale, California. His eldest son, 31-year-old Kelvin Jackett Jr., who had documented schizophrenia and bipolar tendencies, was living with his parents and a younger brother and became the focus of concern when one of the household’s three handguns went missing and his behavior grew erratic.

During a confrontation, Jackett Jr. gained control of a 9mm pistol and shot his father in the abdomen. Jackett Sr. continued to struggle with his son; Jackett Jr. attempted a second shot to the head but the pistol jammed. The father called to his younger son for help; the younger son fired multiple rounds into Jackett Jr.’s face and chest. Jackett Sr. was taken to a regional trauma center and later died of his wounds.

Jackett Jr. was arrested and charged with murder; he later pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter under a plea agreement and was sentenced to 15 years in state prison. The younger son was not charged for shooting his brother. Did anyone in the community have contact with the family before October 17 who can shed light on what happened?
