On December 2, 2017, 47-year-old Reynald Jackson was found face down near the Wag-A-Pac convenience store on Louisiana 20 in Vacherie, Louisiana, having sustained multiple gunshot wounds. Deputies from the St. James Parish Sheriff’s Office responded and Jackson was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators identified Reynald Jackson’s 26-year-old stepson, Rojae Dumas, as a suspect; Dumas voluntarily surrendered to the St. James Parish Sheriff’s Office shortly after the shooting and was booked into the parish jail. A St. James Parish Grand Jury returned a True Bill of Indictment on February 26, 2018, charging Dumas with second-degree murder. On September 19, 2019, a jury found Dumas guilty of the lesser included offense of manslaughter, and on November 18, 2019, he was sentenced to 25 years with the Louisiana Department of Corrections, with credit for time served.

Does anyone have information about Reynald Jackson’s life in Vacherie or the days leading up to December 2, 2017?
