Christopher Robert Jackson was 40 when he was shot and killed in Houston on November 7, 2017. Police responded about 3:20 a.m. to the area near the 4200 block of Dupont Street after reports of a person lying in the grass; Jackson was found with a gunshot wound and paramedics confirmed his death at the scene.

At the time he was walking to his job as a METRO rail contractor. Investigators reported no immediate motive or known suspects and later asked the public for help with leads. Jackson’s homicide was one of roughly 269 murders reported in Houston that year, a statistic that investigators said reflected many different circumstances across the city.

Anyone who remembers that area or has information about Jackson’s movements that night is asked to contact the Houston Police Department’s Homicide Division or Crime Stoppers.
