In the early morning hours of October 30, 2022, in a parking lot in Denver, Colorado, the life of 24-year-old Raeshaud Dequince Jackson was tragically cut short. A Black male, Jackson was with another man, 23-year-old Deandre Lewis, when both were fatally shot in what police have described as a double homicide. The incident occurred in the 9800 block of East Girard Avenue, where Lewis was pronounced dead at the scene and Jackson was rushed to a hospital, where he later succumbed to his
injuries.
Born on February 2, 1998, in Aurora, Colorado, Raeshaud, also known as 'Rae-Rae,' was described as the life of the party, a comedian, rapper, and dancer who was always happy and loved his family. He was a father to a son and a stepfather to a daughter. His death occurred during a period of increased gun violence that had troubled the Denver and Aurora communities, leaving residents with a sense of fear and outrage.
Despite the ongoing investigation by the Denver Police Department, no arrests have been made in connection with the deaths of Raeshaud Jackson and Deandre Lewis, and no suspects have been publicly identified. The case remains unsolved, leaving a void for a family and community seeking answers and justice for the loss of a young man known for his vibrant personality. Authorities have continued to appeal to the public for any information that might lead to a breakthrough in the case.
