Charniese Charnele Malachai Jackson was 26 when she was killed at her home in Kenosha’s Lincoln Park neighborhood on March 8, 2021. Born March 7, 1995, she worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant at Meadowmere Southport and was described as a devoted mother who enjoyed time with her children, family and friends.

Authorities say the attack was domestic in nature. Charniese was stabbed multiple times and shot in the shoulder; she made a 9-1-1 call while being attacked. Her estranged boyfriend, Ranon Brownlee, was charged with murder. Prosecutors presented text messages in which Brownlee accused her of infidelity and said he harbored a murderous obsession. The trial record notes multiple knives were used, two of which broke, before a stronger knife caused the fatal wounds, and the jury returned a guilty verdict in under 20 minutes.

Charniese’s family and friends continue to mourn her loss and remember her as a loving mother. If anyone knew Charniese or has information about her life and the events leading up to that day, please share what you know.
