Danielle Lamont Bubba Jackson, a 44-year-old cook at Milano Cafe and an avid bowler, was shot multiple times in the early morning hours behind Pappy’s Lounge on North Street in Lima, Ohio, and died on January 20, 2020, at Mercy Health–St. Rita’s Medical Center. He was born August 29, 1975, and was described as friendly and outgoing in his community; he once rolled a perfect 300 game.

A bar patron found Jackson and called 911. Jackson told a responding officer that he had been robbed and that there were two assailants. Two teenagers, Ja’naz Smith and Jordan Daniel, were later identified as suspects and indicted on charges including aggravated murder, aggravated robbery, and tampering with evidence. Smith was 15 at the time of the shooting.

Court testimony reported that Smith admitted to firing the shots after Daniel suggested robbing Jackson; Smith’s defense said his confession was coerced. The community mourned Jackson’s death and his family’s loss. Does anyone have information about Jackson’s movements that night or knew him personally and can help fill gaps in the timeline?
