Rasheed Devonte Jackson, 24, was fatally shot during a home invasion at his Old Grantham Road residence in Goldsboro, North Carolina, on December 10, 2020. Wayne County Sheriff’s deputies were called about a breaking and entering in progress around 5:30 AM; officers found Jackson had been shot and the suspects had fled in a silver four-door sedan. Reports say the suspects were known to the occupants and the act was not random.

Two 24-year-old men from Dudley, Deangelo Rakeen Rivers and Isaac Aaron Taylor, were arrested and charged with an open count of murder and first-degree burglary. Both were held without bond at the Wayne County Detention Center. Jackson is survived by his parents Luciana M. Jackson and Dameion D. Verdun, his daughter Ariya L. Jackson, and siblings; a celebration of life and burial were held on December 20, 2020.

Anyone who knew Rasheed or has information about the events of December 10, 2020, is urged to contact investigators.
