WPD spokeswoman Linda Rawley Thompson said officers responded to 1910 Castle Street shortly before 1 a.m. Friday after reports of someone being shot. They found Jackson on the front porch with an apparent gunshot wound.

The 911 operator asked the woman when this happened.

911 Caller: “Just now. I was sleeping. I heard the rumbling.”
Operator: “Okay. What type of weapon was involved?”
911 Caller: “It looked like a handgun. I had my porch light on. The guy came running up and my brother was calling me and I heard the shot.”
