In the late summer of 2025, the life of 39-year-old Charles Jackson, a male resident of Jackson, Mississippi, was tragically cut short. On Tuesday, September 9th, in the 2400 block of Coronet Place in South Jackson, Jackson was discovered deceased, having sustained multiple gunshot wounds. The violent nature of his death prompted an immediate investigation by the Jackson Police Department.
Within a couple of days, the investigation led to a significant development.
On Thursday, September 11, 2025, officers with the Jackson Police Department arrested 32-year-old Robert Maximilian White in connection with the fatal shooting. The arrest brought a swift, though not final, turn to the case that had just begun to unfold.
Following his arrest, Robert Maximilian White faced serious charges for his alleged role in Charles Jackson's death. He was charged with capital murder, indicating the severity of the crime. In addition to the murder charge, White also faced accusations of armed carjacking and armed robbery, suggesting a more complex series of events leading to the homicide. During his initial court appearance, a judge denied bond for White, ensuring he would remain in custody as the legal process moved forward. Investigators also linked him to a holdup at a local business, Debo's Corner on North Side Drive, painting a picture of a wider alleged crime spree. While an arrest has been made, the investigation into the shooting of Charles Jackson was reported to be ongoing.
