On the evening of September 19, 2024, 26-year-old Jawaun Fortune Jackson of Washington, D.C., known to family and friends as Juan, was found on 52nd Avenue in Hyattsville, Maryland, suffering from gunshot wounds. Prince George’s County police and first responders were at the scene, and Jackson was pronounced dead there. He was born February 11, 1998, and is survived by his parents, Jennifer Franklin and Charles Jackson, Sr., his son Jawaun David James Jackson, his siblings, and his girlfriend Nicole Lee.

He was expecting a second child who was due on his birthday and enjoyed music, anime, cheering for his favorite football teams, and time at the beach. On September 30, 2024, police announced an arrest: an 18-year-old male from Maryland has been charged with Jackson’s murder; the suspect’s name was not released.

Does anyone have information about that evening or knew Jawaun and can help fill in what happened?
