Norris Jackson, a 36-year-old Black man and cook at Bonchon Chicken in Manchester, Connecticut, was fatally shot after a workplace dispute on December 30, 2017. The conflict began just before noon when manager James Goolsby became angry about a negative online review. Witnesses say Jackson intervened to defend a coworker; he did not touch Goolsby before the manager produced a gun and fired. Jackson was shot four times, taken to a hospital, and died of his injuries on December 31, 2017. He was a father known for his love of family, cooking, and the Dallas Cowboys.

After the shooting Goolsby, 28, fled with assistance from his girlfriend and coworker, 23-year-old Leanne Robitaille; both were described as armed and dangerous during the subsequent manhunt. Goolsby was found and arrested at a Hartford warming center on January 2, 2018; Robitaille surrendered soon after. Goolsby was charged with murder and Robitaille with hindering prosecution, and Goolsby’s attorney later acknowledged he was the shooter while arguing there was no intent to kill. If anyone knew Norris Jackson or was at the restaurant that day, please share what you remember.
