On the morning of June 7, 2022, 26-year-old Terrencia Jackson was killed at her home on Fleetwood Drive in Jackson, Mississippi. Jackson and her new boyfriend were in bed when her ex-boyfriend, Zverian Brent, forced entry into the residence and opened fire. Jackson was struck multiple times and died at the scene; her boyfriend was wounded and survived.

Investigators identified Brent as the primary suspect. Family stated Brent was the father of Jackson’s daughter. Brent was arrested in Jackson by U.S. Marshals on June 9, 2022. A second person, 28-year-old Vaita Valentine, was also taken into custody and charged with being an accessory after the fact to capital murder for allegedly helping Brent evade law enforcement.

Brent was charged with murder and attempted murder and denied bond at his initial appearance; he was later convicted of second-degree murder and aggravated assault for the shooting. Does anyone have information about Terrencia, her daughter, or the events that night that could help clarify what happened?
