Christopher Jackson, 35, was fatally shot on September 4, 2021, at DD’s Sky Club in Midtown Houston. He was an innocent bystander during an altercation on an open mic night when two men entered the club armed and opened fire. Jackson was struck by a stray bullet and died at the scene.

The shooting also killed Jailyn Bernard Page, 19, and Bryce Lee Goddard, 21. Two men, Demontae Lavon Williams, 24, and Le Dadrine Da Prea Hall, were identified as the primary suspects; they reportedly bypassed security and brought firearms into the venue. Williams was later tried, convicted of capital murder, and sentenced to life in prison without parole after a four-day trial. Hall’s case remains pending and he faces similar charges of capital murder.

The killings devastated families and the Midtown community and renewed attention on the consequences of gun violence and venue security. If anyone witnessed the shooting or knew Christopher Jackson, please share information that might help his family and the ongoing case.
