Catherine Jackson was 29 when she was shot to death inside her East St. Louis home on North Ninth Street on January 11, 2018. She was eight months pregnant with her fifth child. Her body was discovered by her landlord; a one-year-old son was found wandering inside the house unharmed but distressed.

The Illinois State Police are assisting local authorities and the investigation remains active. No arrests have been announced and there are no known witnesses. Jackson’s older sister, Chandra Meeks, has temporary custody of the youngest child while the other children are living with their father. The family has set up a GoFundMe page to support the children and continues to appeal for information.
