In the early morning hours of October 15, 2023, 23-year-old Jackson Jack Edward Danner was found in the front yard of his Topeka home suffering from multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. Police say the shooting occurred in the 1600 block of Southwest 21st Street and brought Topeka’s homicide count to 31 for the year.

Investigators reported a party may have occurred at the residence before the shooting. Evidence suggested Danner was pushed from his home into the yard, where he was then shot. Danner, a 2018 Holton High School graduate, worked at Midwest Coating in Topeka and was remembered by acquaintances as kind and good-natured.

By December 2023 the Topeka Police Department had identified two suspects. In November 2023, 32-year-old Aaron Serrano was arrested in Clay County, Missouri, on an outstanding warrant and extradited to Topeka on a second-degree murder charge. In early December 2023, 29-year-old Tremale Serrano of Topeka was arrested in Kansas City, Kansas, and transported to Topeka on a second-degree murder charge. Does anyone have information about that night or about Jackson’s circle that could help the investigation?
