Jerome Bryant Jackson, a 34-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on April 3, 2018, in the 1000 block of Moreland Avenue in Durham, North Carolina. Officers found Jackson lying outside with a gunshot wound and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators said the shooting did not appear to be random, though no motive or suspect details were released at that time.

On May 17, 2018, members of the U.S. Marshals Service Joint Fugitive Task Force arrested two Durham men in connection with the case. Taquon Davon Washington, 24, was charged with murder and felony conspiracy; Rashawn Ramon Harwell, 23, was charged with felony conspiracy. Both were held in the Durham County Jail without bond.

Jackson was remembered by family and friends at a vigil; his father and brother spoke about the family’s grief. He worked at the Durham Co-Op on Chapel Hill Road and was a father to an 11-year-old son. Anyone with information about the killing is asked to come forward.
