On a late summer evening in Philadelphia, tragedy struck the 6400 block of North Beechwood Street. At approximately 11:16 p.m. on Tuesday, August 14, 2018, Philadelphia Police officers were called to the scene where they discovered Levern Jackson lying in the street, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. The 29-year-old male was immediately transported to Albert Einstein Medical Center for treatment.
Despite the efforts of medical personnel, he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead later that night. Another source of information states that Levern was 9 years old.
Residing on Mohican Street in Philadelphia, Levern was a father of three who was described as a loving and caring man with a bright smile and words of encouragement for those around him. His family acknowledged that he had made some unfortunate choices in his life, but also highlighted his contributions to various communities. He would speak to young people, sharing his experiences in an effort to guide them toward making better decisions and avoiding the perils of the streets.
The investigation into the shooting death of Levern Jackson remains ongoing. To date, no arrests have been made in connection with the homicide, and no suspects have been publicly identified. The Philadelphia Police Department continues to seek information from the public that could lead to a breakthrough in the case. His loved ones are still awaiting answers and the justice that would come with the apprehension and conviction of the individual or individuals responsible for his death.
