Rolland Jackson, 52, was fatally shot three times outside Jeremy’s food store in Dallas, Texas, on August 3, 2016. He suffered gunshot wounds to the neck, chest and shoulder; the medical examiner ruled the cause of death to be the gunshot wounds. A .38 caliber projectile recovered at the scene indicated the weapon was most likely a revolver.

Police identified 30-year-old Lance Williams as the shooter; he turned himself in on August 8, 2016. Witnesses Ivan Maldonado and Semetric Baker testified during the investigation and trial. Williams was convicted of capital murder and received a sentence of life imprisonment, and the Fifth District Court of Appeals in Texas affirmed the conviction after rejecting his challenges to the sufficiency of the evidence and to certain evidence admitted at trial.
