Jasmine Jackson, 21, was fatally shot in the head on August 31, 2018, while walking with her boyfriend in the 4300 block of West End Avenue in Chicago’s West Garfield Park. The boyfriend, 19, survived with a gunshot wound to his shoulder and escaped the scene.

Investigators say two assailants ambushed the couple after entering an alley. Video surveillance, cellphone records, and clothing matching the shooting description were cited as evidence. Two men were arrested: Kevin Gayden, 20, charged with first-degree murder and aggravated battery with a firearm and held without bail; and Edward Williams, 23, charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, and a misdemeanor drug charge. Williams was charged within a week of the shooting and his case was pending in Cook County court; legal proceedings for both defendants were ongoing.

Jasmine’s family and community mourn her loss. If anyone saw the shooting, the suspects before or after, or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
