Jackson was shot and killed on Aug. 7, 2022, at 9550 Deering Drive. HPD said the shooting stemmed from a possible dispute between the suspect and Jackson.

At the scene, Jackson was found with multiple gunshot wounds and pronounced dead.

In April 2023, months after the shooting, a 15-year-old who was already in custody for a different crime was referred to the Harris County Juvenile Probation on a murder charge for his involvement in the case.

Hardyway's role in the shooting was not immediately disclosed, but authorities said he admitted being involved.
