In the early morning hours of May 27, 2014, 34-year-old Rashawn Jackson was shot in the head after answering a knock at her apartment door at the Venetian Hills complex in southwest Atlanta. Her mother and sister found her inside the apartment and her sister called 911; emergency responders pronounced Rashawn dead at the scene.

Investigators quickly treated the shooting as not random and believed the perpetrator was someone Rashawn knew. Suspicion centered on her ex-boyfriend, Maurice Nesbitt, known professionally as Mega Ruckus. Family and friends described a tumultuous, abusive relationship and said Rashawn had been planning to leave him.

Nesbitt was arrested in July 2014. He failed to appear for court in 2016, and his trial began in September 2017. On the final day of trial, September 29, 2017, he removed a court-ordered ankle monitor and disappeared before the jury returned a verdict; the jury nevertheless found him guilty of felony murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and he was sentenced to life in prison in absentia.

Did anyone who knew Rashawn or her circle in Atlanta around 2014 see anything that might help explain who visited her that morning?
