Aaron Lee Jackson, a 34-year-old Black male from Bridgeville, Delaware, was killed late on the night of June 17, 2022, in Milford. Police said the shooting happened at about 10:04 p.m. in the Brightway Commons Apartment Complex, in the 100 block of Bright Way. When Milford officers arrived, they found Jackson behind a residence suffering from several gunshot wounds.
Emergency personnel began lifesaving efforts at the scene, but Jackson did not survive.
He was pronounced dead after the shooting, turning the apartment complex into the center of a homicide investigation. In the first public reports, police had not yet released his name, identifying him only as a 34-year-old male victim. Milford Police later confirmed that the man killed was Aaron L. Jackson.
Investigators said they believed an argument took place before the gunfire. The available public reports do not describe what the argument was about, who else was involved, or whether Jackson knew the person who shot him. Police asked anyone who witnessed the incident or had information about it to contact the Milford Police Department Criminal Investigations Division.
Publicly available law enforcement and news reports reviewed for this synopsis did not identify a named suspect, announce an arrest, or describe any charges, trial, plea, or conviction connected to Jackson’s killing. The Milford Police Department described the case as active and ongoing after identifying Jackson, and the public information available indicates detectives were still seeking witnesses and tips rather than announcing that someone had been taken into custody.
