Sharmeka Jackson was 31 when she was found dead from an apparent gunshot wound in a home in the Woodstock neighborhood of Jacksonville on July 22, 2022 — one day after her 31st birthday. A mother of three, she worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant and ran a small business called Meka’s Creations. Family and friends remembered her as kind-hearted and focused on improving life for her children.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office had been called to the Prospect Street residence multiple times in the year before her death for incidents including auto theft recovery and domestic disputes, but it is unclear why Jackson was at that home on the day she was killed. A candlelight vigil was held and her family has urged anyone with information to contact authorities.

Does anyone in the community have information about Sharmeka’s movements that day or about the Prospect Street residence?
