Roy Markey Jackson, 30, was shot and killed in the early evening of January 3, 2017, at an apartment complex in Newport News, Virginia. Medics pronounced him dead at the scene after he was found suffering from at least one gunshot wound. The Newport News Police Department opened an investigation into the fatal shooting.

Friends and family remembered Jackson as a humble, protective man who worked in security and called him a real big teddy bear. A viewing was held January 10, 2017, and a funeral service took place January 11 at Gethsemane Baptist Church.

If anyone knew Roy, was at the apartment complex that evening, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
