Kurry Jackson, a 37-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on July 13, 2020, at the Days Inn on SW 13th Street in Gainesville. Police responded to a shots-fired call around 8 p.m. and found Jackson in his hotel room with gunshot wounds; he was taken to UF Health Shands Hospital and later died there.

Investigators tied the shooting to a drug deal and robbery. Orlando resident Tyron Antwon Miller, 25, was identified as the primary suspect and was charged with murder while engaged in trafficking and with possession of a weapon by a convicted felon. Authorities say Miller and an accomplice drove from Orlando to Gainesville in a rented black Kia Optima; toll booth camera footage and facial recognition helped place him.

Miller was arrested and held in the Alachua County Jail; a public defender was appointed and he was considered a low flight risk at his first court appearance. The police offered a reward and asked the public for information. If anyone knew Jackson or saw activity at the Days Inn that night, can you help investigators with tips?
