Denzyl Percell Bacon Jackson was 21 when he was fatally shot in Minneapolis on the afternoon of Sunday, March 31, 2019, about a week before his 22nd birthday. He and two friends were in a vehicle on the 7th Street Bridge over Interstate 94 around 2:00 PM when someone opened fire. Another occupant was critically wounded.

A separate video showed a man lying on the pavement beside the car, which had its windows shot out. Police responded to reports of a shooting involving two cars; the suspect vehicle was described as a burgundy Dodge that fled the scene.

Homicide investigators processed the scene, and police said the investigation was in its early stages with no clear motive. Family and social media suggested possible retaliation for a double shooting a week earlier. No arrests had been announced and no suspects publicly identified; the case remains unsolved.

If anyone has information about what happened on the 7th Street Bridge that afternoon, please come forward.
