Justin Ellis Jackson, a 33-year-old white man, was killed at his home on Milton Drive in Fayetteville, North Carolina, on June 2, 2021, during a violent home invasion. Two men forced their way in after Jackson’s teenage daughter answered the door; the intruders began shooting, killing Jackson and wounding his daughter. The reported motive was to steal cash and marijuana.
One intruder, James Edward Corbett, was shot during the attack and later died at a hospital in Hoke County. The other, Calvin Wayne Locklear, was arrested about three weeks later in Lumberton and later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon, and possession of a firearm by a felon; he was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Jackson was survived by his father, Gary Ellis Jackson, his fiancé, Devin Allen, and five children; funeral services were held June 7, 2021, at Butler Funeral Home in Stedman, followed by burial at Fayetteville Memorial Cemetery.
