Colin Jackson, 22, was found dead of a gunshot wound on February 4, 2015, outside an apartment near the University of Central Florida in Orlando. Deputies had responded to an aggravated battery call but discovered Jackson’s body outside one of the units; investigators immediately treated the death as a homicide and said they did not believe it was a random act of violence.

Witnesses reported an altercation between Jackson and another man just before the shots were fired, and witnesses later described the other person as an unknown black male. Jackson was not a UCF student. At the time of his death he was out on bond on prior charges that included carrying a concealed firearm and possession of drug paraphernalia. He had been arrested at the same complex on December 30, 2014, on multiple firearm and assault-related counts after an incident involving an attempted robbery and a later return in which deputies recovered firearms and allegedly stolen items.

No suspects were immediately identified and investigators continued to seek information that could lead to an arrest. If anyone saw the altercation that night or has information about who was involved, please come forward.
