Brice Carrington Jackson, 27, was shot in an alley between Dorchester and Norwich avenues in Grand Rapids on September 14, 2016. He was taken to Mercy Health Saint Mary’s Hospital but died of his injuries.

Originally from Peoria, Illinois, Jackson had moved to Grand Rapids with his mother. He served as a youth director at his church and led after-school and summer programs, was described as a loving father and an avid basketball player, and was well regarded by family and friends who called his death a senseless act of violence.

The Grand Rapids Police Department released a limited suspect description: a Black male about 5 feet 5 inches tall, roughly 125 pounds, last seen wearing dark clothing. Authorities asked the public for help; no arrests or charges have been reported in connection with this shooting.

If anyone knew Brice or has information about what happened that night, please share what you know.
