Kenneth Stephen Jackson Jr. was 22 when he was shot dead on March 25, 2014, in Jacksonville, Florida. Sopenasky allegedly fired warning shots into the ground as they approached; as Kenneth attempted to back up his vehicle, Sopenasky continued shooting and struck Kenneth in the back of the head. Kenneth was found dead in his truck.

Sopenasky was charged with first-degree murder. At trial he said he feared Kenneth might be retrieving a gun or trying to run him over; the jury convicted him of manslaughter with a firearm and two counts of attempted manslaughter with a firearm. In December 2015 Sopenasky was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Kenneth’s parents, Angie and Kenny Jackson, described him as a loving, hardworking young man who enjoyed lifting weights and dirt bike racing and said his death has left them devastated.

Does anyone have additional information about Kenneth’s last hours or about the confrontation on Cancun Drive?
