Mahogany Jackson was 20 and a mother from Birmingham when she was kidnapped, tortured, and killed in late February 2024. The attack began the night of February 24, 2024, at an apartment where she was held for hours; videos later showed her being beaten, spat upon, stripped naked, handcuffed, and sexually assaulted at gunpoint. In the early hours of February 25 she texted her mother that she had been kidnapped and gave a location, and investigators think her captors then moved her.

Police found Jackson’s body shortly after 2 a.m. on February 26 at an illegal dumping site near 17th Street Southwest and Laurel Avenue, underneath a mattress and shot in the back of the head. The Birmingham police chief and the district attorney called the crime deplorable and gruesome. In the days afterward eight people were arrested in connection with the case: Brandon Pope, Francis Harris, Jeremiah McDowell, Blair Green, Si'Niya McCall, Teja Lewis, Giovannie Clapp, and Airana Robinson. No one has been found guilty; does anyone have information about Mahogany or what happened that night?
