Alex O. Jackson, known as Barry, was 16 when he was shot and killed in the Creighton Court neighborhood of Richmond, Virginia, in the early hours of March 27, 2015. Richmond Police found him suffering from a gunshot wound just after 12:20 a.m. in the 2100 block of Creighton Road; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

An adult male was also discovered at the scene with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. Investigators consulted with the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office and reviewed the evidence from the incident. In April 2015 authorities ruled the fatal shooting a justified act of self-defense and announced that the shooter would not be charged. The case was closed without arrests in Jackson’s death.
