Contravia Lamond Jackson, 43, was killed in the early hours of February 19, 2024, after a shooting at a home on the 200 block of June Avenue in Hueytown, Alabama. Officers were called about 2 a.m.; Jackson was found dead in the front seat of a vehicle parked in the driveway. Investigators described the incident as targeted and said a small group arrived at the residence in the dark.

Police reported the resident’s sister came to the home with two men and that at least one of them displayed a gun. In the seconds that followed, the homeowner shot Jackson. Prosecutors initially reviewed the case and no immediate charges had been announced against the homeowner while investigators continued working. In mid-March 2024 authorities arrested La’Garyeus Lamar Boglin, 26, of Bessemer, charging him with felony murder, first-degree robbery, first-degree kidnapping, and first-degree burglary; police said Boglin was not accused of firing the fatal shot and that the felony-murder charge rests on deaths occurring during certain felonies.

The core questions remain who the second man with Jackson was and what brought the group to that house before dawn. Did anyone in the Hueytown area see that vehicle or the men arriving that night?
