Jamal Dixon-Lackey, 26, was one of three men killed by gunfire during a block party in Houston’s Fourth Ward on July 4, 2016. The shooting occurred in the 1300 block of Robin Street amid a neighborhood fireworks display; about 100 people had gathered for the Independence Day festivities when an altercation erupted and gunfire followed. Dixon-Lackey, Charles Jackson, 29, and Daquarius Tucker, 19, died at the scene from gunshot wounds. Two others, including a 10-year-old boy and a 37-year-old man, suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to hospital.

Investigators reported that Tucker was the apparent primary target and that Dixon-Lackey and Jackson were standing nearby, making them unintended victims. The fireworks and the ensuing chaos initially made it hard to distinguish celebratory noise from gunfire. The neighborhood held vigils afterward to mourn the dead and call for unity against such violence.

If anyone was at the Fourth Ward celebration that night or has information about the altercation, please share what you remember.
