Asia Monique Jackson, 26, was shot and killed on September 11, 2020, outside the Retreat at Stone Mountain apartment complex in Stone Mountain, Georgia, following a dispute. Her oldest daughter was present; Jackson had just handed the child keys and told her to go inside when the child heard the gunshot and later had to walk past her mother. The daughter was driven to her grandmother’s neighborhood afterward and told to go to her grandmother’s house.
The man suspected in the killing is Ronal E. Derickson, the father of Jackson’s children. He fled the state after the shooting but was later located in Michigan and booked into the DeKalb County jail on October 17, 2020, facing multiple charges including felony murder, aggravated stalking, kidnapping, and first-degree cruelty to children. Jackson worked for the post office, ran an online beauty shop called Sassy Sue Collection, and was the mother of two daughters, Aniyah, 9, and Hailee, 5. A candlelight vigil was held on September 19, 2020, in Decatur and her funeral was held two days later.
Does anyone have information about Asia’s last known movements at the complex or saw anything around the time of the shooting?
