Andrew Ladeartis Jackson, a 39-year-old Black man from Memphis, Tennessee, died after a shooting on March 29, 2026. He arrived at Methodist University Hospital just after midnight in a 2018 black Infiniti with a gunshot wound to the torso and was pronounced dead despite emergency efforts. Investigators traced the shooting back to the parking lot of the Hillview Apartments in South Memphis.

Police say Jackson had been with Kimberly Annette Cooper, 36, and another man; the group had been at the apartment complex before going to a club. According to accounts reported by police, an argument about whether they would be sexually involved escalated while Jackson slept in the back seat. Witnesses and officers allege Cooper fired a single shot after a passenger door opened; Jackson was wounded and taken to the hospital by Cooper and the male witness. A black-and-tan firearm was recovered in the vehicle.

Cooper was arrested and charged with second-degree murder; bond amounts were reported inconsistently at $100,000 and $500,000, and she was expected to appear in Shelby County court in late April 2026. No other suspects have been publicly identified.

If anyone has information about what happened in the Hillview Apartments parking lot that night, please come forward.
