Octavious Jackson, 44, a former Florida State University defensive tackle and member of the 1999 national championship team, was fatally shot on December 1, 2024, outside Jaycee Hall in Hollywood, Florida. The shooting happened about 1:30 a.m. during a family celebration—a combined baby shower and wedding anniversary—with roughly 80 people in attendance. Jackson was reportedly trying to break up a fight when he was shot.

The attack left two people dead; Jackson and his friend 44-year-old Taron Nicks. Two other attendees were hospitalized, one later discharged and one remaining in intensive care. The venue manager said the incident was unexpected at a hall that had hosted events without violence before. As of December 28, 2024, no arrests had been announced; authorities identified several persons of interest and asked the public for help.

Did anyone attend that event or know people who were there and can provide information to investigators?
