Devin Parker Jr, a 19-year-old student from Memphis, was fatally shot on the night of Saturday, March 28, 2026, inside Williamson Hall at Lane College in Jackson, Tennessee. Jackson Police responded to reports of a shooting at the residence hall and found Parker had been fatally wounded.

Investigators identified another 19-year-old Lane College student, Zavon Luckett Junior, as the person who discharged the firearm. Luckett was taken into custody and charged with reckless homicide, a charge that indicates authorities believe the death resulted from careless handling of a weapon rather than an intent to kill. He was arraigned in Jackson City Court the Tuesday after the shooting and had a further court appearance scheduled the following morning.

Lane College announced it would illuminate the Bray Hall Building for a week in Parker’s memory and hold a candlelight vigil for the campus community. If anyone on campus that night or who knew Devin has information that could help, please come forward.
