Colin Dustin Jackson, 25, was found fatally shot inside his Morningside Hill Apartments unit on Dandridge Avenue in Knoxville on Friday, September 23, 2016. His girlfriend discovered him after she was unable to reach him during the day and returned from work; police arrived just before 4 p.m. and opened a homicide investigation. The apartment door was shut when he was found, and investigators have said the shooting did not appear random and that Jackson may have known his assailant.

Jackson, born October 30, 1990, was a 2010 graduate of Austin-East High School and performed as rap artist Colin Greens Hefner. He had worked at Buddy’s Bar-B-Q and O’Reilly Auto Parts and was remembered for community involvement and giving to the homeless. No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced and the case remains open; detectives have at times re-canvassed the apartment complex seeking leads.

Anyone with information about Colin Jackson’s death is asked to contact the Knoxville Police Department.
