Jakailah Kenyetta Jackson was 27 when she was fatally shot on October 19, 2020, in Charlotte, North Carolina. Employed as a logistics handler by Saddle Creek Logistics Services in Harrisburg, she was a mother to a young son and made hair and makeup video tutorials. That day she and her partner, Dondrake Blackmoore, were at a gas station on Kilborne Drive with their child when occupants of a nearby vehicle opened fire. Dondrake was killed at the scene; Jakailah was taken to hospital by paramedics and later died of her wounds. Their son was present and unharmed physically but witnessed the attack.

Two men were arrested in connection with the double homicide. Xaveon Dunn was charged and arrested in October 2020; Jamaal Porterfield was later arrested on November 6, 2020, on a charge of Felony Accessory After the Fact to Murder and was to be extradited to North Carolina. A vigil was held for the couple and the community has been supporting their son.

If anyone has information about what happened that day or knew Jakailah or her family, please come forward.
