Richard Lee Jackson Jr., 18, was found dead on the evening of July 18, 2019, in Clayton County, Georgia. His body was discovered facedown in grass near the curb at the intersection of Crystal Lake Road and Warrington Place; officers who arrived about 8 p.m. determined he had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was deceased.

Investigators learned Jackson had traveled by bus from Decatur to Clayton County the same day, though his reasons for the trip were not clear. Several shell casings were recovered at the scene, and witnesses reported hearing as many as 18 gunshots. The area is a neighborhood just south of Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.

The Clayton County Police Department publicly identified Jackson and asked the community for information.

If anyone knew Richard, saw him the day he traveled to Clayton County, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
