Tony Jackson, 33, of San Diego was shot and killed on May 6, 2018, at Mountain View Park. The killing was part of a double homicide that also claimed the life of Robert Brown. The violence reportedly began after an argument between Jackson and Elliot Williams outside Mike’s Market on Ocean View Boulevard; about an hour later Williams called Shannon Bryant and the two men drove to the park where the fatal shooting occurred.

Elliot Williams and Shannon Bryant were charged with first-degree murder. Their trials ended in jury deadlock, and both men later pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter. In August 2023 Williams received a 23-year state prison sentence and Bryant received 15 years. Prosecutors argued the shooting was premeditated, pointing to a social media post by Williams shortly after the incident; defense attorneys disputed that interpretation and said alibis were not adequately investigated.

Who in the community might have seen the argument outside Mike’s Market or the two men driving toward Mountain View Park that evening?
