On Monday afternoon, November 23, 2015, 19-year-old Jamer Jackson was shot in his North Hicks Street neighborhood in Philadelphia. Officers found him about 4:00 p.m. with multiple gunshot wounds and transported him in a patrol vehicle to Temple University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead later that afternoon.

Jamer was a Nicetown resident remembered by family as a loving, happy, and busy young man. He became a single father at 15, graduated from Youth Build with more than six awards, and completed internships at Temple University’s Engineering Department and EMFMG. No arrests have been announced and no suspects publicly identified; the Philadelphia Police Department continues to investigate and a reward is offered for information leading to arrest and conviction.

If anyone knew Jamer, saw activity on North Hicks Street that afternoon, or has information that could help, please come forward.
