Nigel Jackson, 22, was shot and killed in Canton, Ohio, on May 12, 2019. He was found in the parking lot of the R Bar on Wertz Avenue NW with a gunshot wound to the chest and was pronounced dead at Aultman Hospital after efforts to save him. The shooting happened in the early morning; responders found multiple shell casings and damaged vehicles at a chaotic scene.

Investigators identified 24-year-old Tavist Devawn Chester as the suspect using security camera footage and witness statements, and he was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. At trial, Chester said he acted in self-defense; prosecutors said there was no evidence supporting that claim. The family of Nigel Jackson spoke about their loss during court proceedings.

Did anyone see activity at the R Bar parking lot that morning or have information about what led up to the shooting?
