George Jackson was found murdered inside his 2013 Buick Verano on the evening of March 16, 2015, near Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and the I-96 freeway on Detroit’s west side. Earlier that afternoon he had dropped his wife at her job; they had been married only two weeks and last spoke on the phone at 5:30 p.m. He failed to pick her up at the usual 9:50 p.m., and when concern grew she contacted her sister-in-law at 10:15 p.m. The family then learned at the Detroit Police Department’s third precinct that Jackson had been found dead in his car.

Family remembered him as strong, fearless, bubbly and funny, with a big heart and a love of people and family. Crime Stoppers of Michigan announced a $2,500 reward for information leading to an arrest. The case remains unsolved and the investigation is open.

If anyone has information about George Jackson’s movements on March 16, 2015, or about what happened near Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and I-96 that evening, please come forward.
