Daniel Devon Jackson, 21, was found dead in his vehicle on Auburn Drive in Bogue-Chitto in the early morning hours of December 28, 2024. The Lincoln County Coroner pronounced him dead at the scene after he sustained multiple gunshot wounds. A witness reported seeing a car stopped in the roadway and a person outside fire several shots into the vehicle, then flee in a second dark-colored passenger car.

The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office identified two suspects within days: 20-year-old Jadahn Brooks and 21-year-old James Robinson Jr., both from Brookhaven. Brooks was described as an associate of the victim. The two men were located and taken into custody in Gulfport on December 30 and returned to Lincoln County to face first-degree murder charges.

Jackson, born February 19, 2003, was remembered as a culinary arts student, saxophonist and color guard coordinator, and a beloved son, brother and friend. Does anyone who knew Daniel or who was in the Bogue-Chitto area that night have information to share?
