Tervon Jackson, 31, was shot dead on the afternoon of November 24, 2025, near Lucille Johnson Park on Mary Street in Milton, Florida. Milton Police responded around 4:30 p.m. to reports of multiple shots and found Jackson with several gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Witnesses reported three males running from the area, two wearing partial face coverings, and surveillance and witness photos were used to trace the fleeing men.

A K-9 unit tracked a scent from the park to a wooded, marshy area near Pine Street where officers found three males hiding in the water. Officers recovered clothing believed to be disguises and two semi-automatic handguns nearby. All three were detained; 21-year-old Jayden Jamarco Wright was subsequently arrested and charged with murder under a dangerous depraved/homicide statute (reported in some outlets as second-degree murder) and booked without bond. The seized firearms were sent for forensic analysis and an autopsy was completed on Jackson.

Jackson’s family described him as a devoted father of two, a caring son and brother, and a talented musician who had returned to Milton to be near family and be involved in the community. Police said Wright and Jackson knew each other and had arranged to meet at the park to address personal issues, and investigators say the encounter escalated into fatal violence. Does anyone who knew Tervon or was near Lucille Johnson Park that afternoon have information that could help the ongoing investigation?
