On the afternoon of June 6, 2007, 34-year-old Jermaine Jackson was shot and killed while talking with friends in Chester, Pennsylvania. Around 4:30 p.m. a man approached the group, shouted for them to move, and began shooting. Jackson, a Black male, was struck in the chest and twice in the leg and died at the scene.

The shooter was identified as 23-year-old David Palmer of Chester. Blood found on the street and inside a stolen Saturn SUV tied to Palmer was presented at trial. In January 2009 a jury found Palmer guilty of first-degree murder and he received life in prison without parole. Jackson’s mother said she felt justice had been served after the sentencing.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information about Jermaine’s last hours, please share what you know.
