Krystal Teaerra Jackson was 25 when she was murdered on November 19, 2014, in the 6800 block of South Loomis Boulevard in Chicago. The location is described as an area with high crime rates and gang activity; the killing shook the local community and attracted media attention.

Investigators tied her death to gang violence. Two men identified as members of the Goonie Boss street gang, Romeo Blackman, 27, and Terrance Smith, 27, were found responsible for her murder and convicted as part of a broader federal racketeering case. Both were convicted of Krystal’s murder along with other violent crimes and face mandatory life sentences in federal prison.

Krystal’s death was cited as one of several cases illustrating the harm of gang violence on families and neighborhoods and as part of a larger federal and state effort to dismantle the Goonie Boss gang.

If anyone knew Krystal, her routines, or has information about the Goonie Boss gang’s activity in that area, please share what you know.
