Jaylon Jackson was 18 when he was killed in a drive-by shooting in Dallas on June 9, 2016. He had just graduated from Madison High School a few days earlier and was standing outside a friend’s house on Ezekiel Avenue when shots rang out. Witnesses heard the shooting but did not see the shooter because the street was dark.

Investigators arrested a 13-year-old who was already in juvenile detention on an unrelated charge; that juvenile was later charged with murder and held on a $1,000,000 bond. Jaylon’s mother, Rashida Jackson, said he had some juvenile trouble but was not involved in any serious conflicts and described her family’s disbelief and heartbreak.

The neighborhood held a candlelight vigil and organized a public safety meeting with Dallas police to discuss violent crime trends and community concerns. Does anyone who knew Jaylon or was in that neighborhood on June 9 have information that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
