Roderick Jackson, a 28-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on March 13, 2019, in St. Petersburg, Florida. He was found dead in the street on 7th Avenue South. Surveillance video from the area showed two men riding bicycles near the scene around the time of the shooting, but those men have not been identified.

Jackson’s family and community have held vigils and celebrations of his life. His mother, Velma Newmon, described him as a kind soul who loved his family and was always willing to help others. His children live with their mother and visit their grandmother frequently; the family has said they plan to scatter Jackson’s ashes during a celebration once an arrest is made.

No arrests have been announced and the St. Petersburg Police Department is asking anyone with information to contact them. If anyone knew Roderick, his routines, or saw activity on 7th Avenue South on March 13, 2019, can you share what you know?
