Demethic Dequan Warren, 42, of Saginaw, Michigan, was shot and killed on May 23, 2021, after going to a house where his niece said she had been assaulted. Warren drove his niece to the location and got into an altercation with Johnnie L. Jackson III. Delvon M. Jackson, Johnnie’s brother, arrived and a confrontation followed; accounts differ about who was the initial aggressor.

Prosecutors said Warren punched Johnnie, knocking him down, and Delvon then shot Warren. The defense said Warren arrived armed with multiple knives and attacked; police recovered five knives at the scene, including two from Warren’s vehicle. Both Delvon and Johnnie Jackson were arrested. Delvon was indicted on open murder and weapons counts; Johnnie faced open murder and a felony firearm charge but later pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact to a felony. A jury acquitted Delvon Jackson in August 2022, finding the shooting justified as self-defense.

Are there details about the night or about Warren’s movements beforehand that anyone can add to clarify what happened?
