On the night of October 9, 2014, 36-year-old Nathaniel Ronnel Jackson, a Black male, was found inside a residence in the 1500 block of North Minnesota in Wichita with multiple gunshot wounds. He was the only person at the scene and was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators initially arrested Michael D. Davis; prosecutors alleged the killing occurred during a dangerous felony tied to a cocaine sale or an aggravated robbery. Those charges were dropped in January 2015 at the request of the District Attorney’s Office due to emerging concerns, with dismissal entered without prejudice.

In September 2019 Wichita police arrested James Leon Edwards, who had earlier been listed as a prosecution witness in the Davis matter, on suspicion of first-degree murder. Court filings allege Edwards arranged for Jackson to come to his home to sell crack cocaine to another man and later told police he had done so. Does anyone have information about Jackson’s final movements or about the people involved that could help clarify what happened that night?
