Maurice Jackson was 50 when he was killed on August 9, 2020, in a residential neighborhood in Richmond, California. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds and died at the scene after emergency responders arrived. Witnesses reported hearing a series of gunshots and seeing a vehicle speed away from the area.

The Richmond Police Department investigated, collected evidence and interviewed witnesses. Several suspects were identified and questioned, though the case faced challenges from uncooperative witnesses and conflicting testimony. An arrest was made in early 2021 and the individual was charged with first-degree murder and related offenses; the suspect’s identity has been withheld pending trial. Maurice’s family has held vigils and worked with local groups to raise awareness about his death and local gun violence.

If anyone has information about the shooting, the vehicle seen leaving the scene, or witnesses who have not yet spoken to investigators, please come forward.
