Mark Wayne Jackson, 53, of New Baltimore, Michigan, was killed on the night of April 9, 2024, while visiting his daughter’s apartment on Interfaith Boulevard in Kalamazoo. Gunfire erupted outside the building; Jackson was not the intended target but was struck when a stray bullet passed through the apartment’s front door. He was transported to a local hospital and pronounced dead.

Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety officers found a chaotic scene: a vehicle with bullet holes had crashed nearby and numerous shell casings were on the ground. Investigators identified persons of interest and initially took two individuals into custody on matters unrelated to the homicide. The probe later focused on 20-year-old Jamyre Thompson of Kalamazoo, who was alleged to have been firing into an occupied vehicle in the complex parking lot; one of those rounds entered the apartment and killed Jackson.

Who knew Mark Jackson or was in the Interfaith Boulevard area that night and can help clarify what happened?
