Keon Lashawn Jackson, 21, was shot and killed in Hot Springs, Arkansas, in the early morning of March 23, 2019. Police responded to reports of gunfire about 2:20 a.m. and found Jackson lying in front of an apartment complex on Autumn Street with a gunshot wound to the right side of his neck; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say the shooting was a setup disguised as a drug sale. Jackson’s girlfriend told police he had received a Facebook message from an acquaintance, 18-year-old Morgan Bailey Tollefson, who expressed interest in buying marijuana. Authorities allege Tollefson and 18-year-old Laquan Vontae Paskel arranged to ambush Jackson. The two fled in Jackson’s vehicle and later abandoned it in a vacant lot.

Both suspects were identified and arrested within days: Paskel on March 24, 2019, and Tollefson on March 25, 2019. They were charged with capital murder, aggravated robbery, and theft of property. Does anyone have information about Jackson, the location on Autumn Street, or the hours before the shooting?
