Andrew Jackson, a 77-year-old Black man from Phenix City, Alabama, was fatally shot in Columbus, Georgia, on April 27, 2024. The shooting occurred in the parking lot of a smoke shop in the 4300 block of Victory Drive; gunfire was reported around 7 p.m. First responders took Jackson to Piedmont Columbus Regional, where the Muscogee County coroner pronounced him dead at 7:55 p.m.

Local reporting counted Jackson as Columbus’s 15th homicide of 2024 and the fourth homicide in April. No arrest, named suspect, or charged individual was publicly linked to his killing in the material available; an arrest announced later related to a separate Victory Drive homicide on April 28 and not to Jackson’s case.
