Acklin Jackson, 30, of Gonzales, was killed in the early morning hours of a December weekend in Prairieville when gunfire broke out as he arrived at the Crystal Chateaux rental hall on Mission Street. The event being held there was promoted on social media as a Pajama Jam with a DJ. Jackson was described as an innocent bystander struck in the crossfire of a dispute that was not his own.

Ascension Parish Sheriff Jeff Wiley criticized the unregulated nature of the gathering, calling it an underground rave, and the sheriff’s office said it was seeking suspects and asked anyone with information to come forward. No information about arrests, suspect identifications, or charges has been reported in the years since the shooting.

What did anyone who was there that night see or hear that could help bring answers for Acklin Jackson’s family?
