Tijere K. Jackson, 21, was found in Wing-Dickerson Park on Carpenter Street in Woodbury shortly before 1:30 a.m. on a Saturday morning. He had sustained a single gunshot wound to the chest and was pronounced dead at the scene; an autopsy confirmed the gunshot as the cause of death and ruled the manner of death a homicide.

Police moved quickly and located a juvenile suspect being picked up in a vehicle about two hours later. During the attempt to take the juvenile into custody, the vehicle’s driver, identified as 20-year-old James Workman of Barrington, pointed a firearm at officers; both the juvenile and Workman were taken into custody. Investigators later charged the juvenile with offenses related to the homicide, charged Workman with aggravated assault on an officer, possession of a ghost handgun and other weapons offenses, and charged 18-year-old Amante Black-Thompson of Woodbury with criminal attempted robbery connected to the shooting.
