Jakkari Sampson, 24, was shot and killed in downtown Fairfield on Christmas Day, December 25, 2017. He was found lying in the street in the 1000 block of Second Street with a gunshot wound and died after being rushed to a local hospital. The shooting occurred about 1:15 p.m., and several callers reported hearing a disturbance in the area.

The Fairfield Police Department investigated and arrested 23-year-old Devin Khyree Lewis, who was charged in the killing. The case went to trial but ended in a mistrial when the jury could not reach a unanimous verdict; Lewis later pleaded no contest to voluntary manslaughter. Courts sentenced Lewis to 21 years in state prison, with fines and restitution to the Victim Compensation Board. Family members’ victim-impact statements described the profound grief and long-lasting effects of losing Sampson on Christmas.

Are there witnesses or anyone with information about the disturbance on Second Street around 1:15 p.m. that day who can help fill gaps in the timeline?
