On the morning of June 15, 2021, three members of a Cedar Rapids family were found fatally shot inside their Oak Leaf Court NE home. The victims were 68-year-old Melissa Ferne Jackson, her 61-year-old husband Jan Perry Jackson, and their 19-year-old daughter Sabrina Hana Jackson. A fourth family member, 20-year-old Alexander Ken Jackson, was injured with a gunshot to the foot and taken to hospital with a non-life-threatening wound.

Alexander initially reported a masked intruder had entered the house and shot him and his father. Detectives found no signs of forced entry, and by the evening investigators arrested Alexander. He was charged with three counts of first-degree murder and booked into the Linn County Correctional Center. Reports indicate a dispute over an ultimatum from his father about getting a job or moving out was presented as a possible motive.

Does anyone have information about the family or the events leading up to June 15, 2021?
