Carmelo DaRon Jackson was 16 when he was fatally shot in Saginaw, Michigan, on April 17, 2021. A 10th grader at Bridgeport High School, he enjoyed basketball, football and music and was remembered by family as funny, giving and kind—often sharing clothes and money with people in need. He was a son, brother, uncle and cousin whose sudden, violent death left his family and community grieving.

The Saginaw Police Department and Michigan State Police opened an investigation after the weekend shooting and publicly identified Carmelo as the victim. As of late 2025 there have been no publicly announced arrests and no suspects named; the case remains unsolved. If anyone knew Carmelo or has information about what happened that day, please come forward to help his family and the investigation.
