On November 30, 2019, 16-year-old Javarus Jackson, a young African American male from Fort Worth, Texas, was tragically found shot to death behind an abandoned building on the 2100 block of Stalcup Road. Initially, authorities responded to a call about an unconscious person, but upon arrival, they discovered Jackson dead from multiple gunshot wounds.
The Fort Worth Police Department launched an investigation into the case, but as of now, no suspects have been arrested.
The community was deeply affected by Jackson's death. Neighbors and friends remembered him as a respectful and energetic young man who often helped out by taking out trash cans to make money. His absence was first noticed when he didn't reach out on Thanksgiving, a time when he was supposed to be with his girlfriend's family. The discovery of his body days later only added to the sorrow and frustration felt by those who knew him.
Despite the ongoing investigation, the Fort Worth Police Department has not made any arrests in connection with Jackson's murder. They continue to appeal to the public for any information that might help solve the case. The case remains open, and the search for justice for Javarus Jackson continues.
