Do you know who gunned down Milton? On a summer night in Richmond, Virginia, the life of Milton F. Jackson, a 51-year-old Caucasian man, was tragically cut short. On July 24, 2012, in the parking lot of a Family Dollar on Jefferson Davis Highway, Jackson was fatally shot. The Richmond Police Department received a call around 11:31 p.m. and, upon arrival, discovered Jackson slumped in the front passenger seat of an SUV.
Despite the efforts of first responders who transported him to a nearby hospital, he succumbed to his injuries.
The initial investigation into the homicide led police to seek three suspects in connection with the shooting. However, details regarding the identities or descriptions of these individuals have not been publicly released. In the years that have passed, the investigation has grown cold, and the case remains one of Richmond's unsolved homicides.
The Richmond Police Department continues to list Milton F. Jackson's murder on its cold case roster, hoping that new information will one day emerge to bring closure to his family and hold those responsible for his death accountable. Authorities have encouraged anyone with information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, to come forward. The circumstances surrounding the shooting in a public place suggest there may have been witnesses who could provide crucial details to move the investigation forward. To date, no arrests have been made in the case.
