On January 2, 2019, 20-year-old Jalyn J.M. Jackson was shot and killed in Harvey, Illinois. The attack happened about 1:30 p.m. as Jackson and his 18-year-old pregnant girlfriend, Nazaree Lambert, were entering her home near 146th and Green. A gunman approached and opened fire; Jackson was struck multiple times and later pronounced dead at Metro South Medical Center in Blue Island. Nazaree, two months pregnant at the time, was critically wounded but survived.

Harvey Police, led by Chief Gregory Thomas, described the shooting as targeted and said investigators believed it was retaliation connected to a prior dispute over a stolen vehicle. Reports say Jackson had been attacked and seriously injured a few weeks earlier in that dispute, which was not reported to police, and that the shooter had allegedly been stalking the couple. Police do not believe Nazaree was involved in the vehicle incident. No arrests have been announced and the gunman remains at large.

Did anyone in the area around 146th and Green see or hear anything that afternoon that could help investigators?
