A recent graduate of the Augusta Savage Institute of Visual Arts, Jackson was preparing to begin HVAC training. Family remembered him as respectful and caring; he was a young father to a one-year-old and enjoyed football and rapping, pursuits that suggested a promising future cut short.

Who was responsible for Gary Jackson’s death remains unresolved.
