Jerry L. Jackson, a 36-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on September 1, 2019, in East St. Louis, Illinois. He was found near Cahokia with multiple gunshot wounds after being shot while in his vehicle; he apparently exited the vehicle and collapsed, and was later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. The Major Case Squad of Greater St. Louis was called to investigate and an autopsy was expected to confirm the exact number of times he was shot.

Jackson’s family, including his brother Perry Brown, described him as a good person who minded his own business and was not known to be violent. There have been no arrests or publicly identified suspects, and the Major Case Squad is asking the community for tips that might help solve the case.

Did anyone see or hear anything near Cahokia or East St. Louis on September 1, 2019, that could help investigators?
