Robert Jackson

Robert Jackson, a 37-year-old Black man, was in his motel room on the West Side of San Antonio, Texas, when his life was cut short on October 28, 2021. The sources available do not offer details about his life, but his death remains an unsolved crime.

Late on that Thursday night, after 10:30 p.m., Jackson was inside his room at a motel in the 3500 block of West Commerce Street. He was not alone; another person was in the room with him when they heard a knock at the door.

According to San Antonio police, Jackson went to answer it. He opened the door but kept the security chain fastened for safety. The man on the other side was able to reach through the small opening and shoot Jackson in the chest. The gunman then fled.

Emergency services rushed Jackson to a hospital, but he died from the fatal wound. When police arrived, they were told the shooter was last seen walking away from the motel, heading east on West Commerce. Officers brought in a helicopter to search the surrounding area, but they were unable to locate the gunman.

As of October 2021, no arrests had been made, and the person who shot Robert Jackson had not been identified. The case remains unsolved.
