Delano Deonte Jackson, 25, was found fatally shot inside a vehicle in Northeast Washington, D.C., on the evening of Thursday, November 10, 2016. Police were called to the 3600 block of Grant Place NE in the Parkside neighborhood around 6:40 p.m. to investigate a report of an unconscious man; Jackson was discovered unresponsive with gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Originally from Rocky Mount, North Carolina, Jackson had moved to Upper Marlboro, Maryland, about a year before his death to seek better employment opportunities. A graduate of Elizabeth City State University with a degree in sports medicine, he was working as an Uber driver while looking for work in his field. Family described him as sweet, loving, good-humored, and always smiling; they said they did not know why he would have been in the Parkside area, about 15 miles from where he lived with his aunt.

The circumstances that led to his death remain unclear, and no motive has been publicly identified. The Metropolitan Police Department has been investigating the homicide and has offered a substantial reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Does anyone have information about Jackson’s movements that evening or recall seeing him in the Parkside area?
