On October 27, 2024, at approximately 2:30 a.m., Stockton Police Department officers responded to reports of a shooting in the 800 block of Mac Duff Avenue in Stockton, California. Upon arrival, they discovered 24-year-old Michael Jackson of Sacramento unresponsive, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Despite immediate medical attention, Jackson was pronounced dead at the scene.
In the initial aftermath, authorities treated the incident as isolated, with no immediate threat to the broader community. However, no suspect information was available at that time, prompting homicide detectives to launch a comprehensive investigation. The Stockton Police Department urged anyone with information to come forward to assist in identifying the perpetrator.
Subsequent investigative efforts led to the arrest of 23-year-old Antuan Scott-Perry in early November 2024. He was apprehended in connection with Jackson's death and booked into the San Joaquin County Jail on multiple felony charges, including murder, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and carrying a loaded firearm without being the registered owner. Scott-Perry was held without bail and was scheduled to appear in court on November 20, 2024.
The arrest of Scott-Perry marked a significant development in the case, providing some measure of closure to the community and Jackson's family. The Stockton Police Department continued to encourage individuals with further information to contact them or Stockton Crime Stoppers to ensure all aspects of the case were thoroughly addressed.
