In the spring of 2021, the life of 27-year-old Kendarius Jackson was cut short by an act of violence in Selma, Alabama. On the evening of Saturday, May 15, 2021, Selma Police officers were called to the 400 block of Twenty Foot Avenue, where they discovered Jackson suffering from a gunshot wound. He was quickly transported to a local hospital, but his injuries proved to be fatal, and he was pronounced dead.
The investigation into the shooting death of the young man, identified as
Kendarius Jerrod Jackson, soon pointed to a suspect. Authorities began searching for Demetrice Brown in connection with the homicide. For several months, Brown remained at large, his whereabouts unknown to law enforcement. The search for the suspect in what was marked as Selma's sixth homicide of the year spanned multiple states.
A significant breakthrough in the case came in the fall. On October 1, 2021, acting on an anonymous tip received by Central Alabama CrimeStoppers, police in Dickinson, North Dakota, located and apprehended Demetrice Brown at an apartment complex. Following his capture, Brown was held in North Dakota pending extradition back to Selma, where he was slated to be officially charged with the murder of Kendarius Jackson. Information regarding the trial, conviction, or sentencing of Demetrice Brown in connection with the death of Kendarius Jackson is not available in the provided online sources.
