On Christmas night 2019 a burst of gunfire in the 900 block of Boston Way in Coralville, Iowa left 30-year-old Gregory Jackson of Iowa City dead. The shooting happened about 9:30 p.m.; a witness reported hearing roughly nine gunshots. Four people were shot in the incident. Three adults were found at the scene and taken to a local hospital; Jackson died of a gunshot wound to the torso and his death was ruled a homicide. Two other victims sustained non-life-threatening injuries, and a fourth person with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound later presented at the hospital.

Authorities said the shooting was not random and that the people involved knew one another. In April 2020 brothers Milton L. McAbee, 19, and Elijah McAbee, 18, were arrested in Kentucky; Milton was charged with first-degree murder in connection with Jackson’s death, and Elijah faced charges of aiding and abetting and attempted murder. The investigation was described as ongoing.

If anyone has information about that Christmas night or knew Gregory Jackson, please share what you know.
