The day after the shooting, officers arrested Lamonyae Forrest, 18, and a 16-year-old who was not named because of his age on capital murder charges.Jackson was in a vehicle when prosecutors said gunmen opened fire on the car, killing her. Mobile Police Chief Paul Prine said the victim was riding around with friends and did nothing to provoke the shooing.
After Jackson’s murder, MPD Sgt. John Young fought back tears at times during an emotional news conference outside of police headquarters. “There’s a subculture of gun violence in the city of Mobile with young black men, and it’s high damn time we did something about it,” he said. “I said it. So no one has to be called a racist anymore. Our homicides – 19, 19, 18, 17, 16, 14, 11, 14 years old – were all black children. When are we as a city going to wake up and say, ‘Let’s address this issue?’”Download the FOX10 Weather App. Get life-saving severe weather warnings and alerts for your location no matter where you are.
