Jerand Deon Jackson, 40, died in Birmingham, Alabama, in the early morning hours of June 19, 2019, after a chain of violent events that began with a motorcycle crash. After the initial accident he was reportedly carjacked and beaten by people who stopped at the scene. While lying injured in the roadway, he was then run over by a responding police officer who did not see him and the motorcyclist in the road, and Jackson was pronounced dead at the scene.

Reports differ on whether the fatal injury was caused by the earlier assault and carjacking or by the police vehicle that struck him; investigators treated the overall episode as a homicide and arrested Keyton Nicole Sparks on murder charges in connection with Jackson’s death. The sequence of crash, carjacking, assault, and the officer’s vehicle makes this case unusually complex.

If anyone witnessed the crash, the people who stopped afterward, or the moments leading up to the officer arriving, please share what was seen or any other information that could clarify how Jackson was killed.
