Police said Jackson and 20-year-old Tory Warren of Ypsilanti met at 11:50 p.m. July 11 in an apartment building hallway in the 200 block of South Grove with a man they know. They were inquiring about some high-end sunglasses, police said. Without warning, investigators said, Jackson pulled a gun and fired at least two shots at close range. The 23-year-old victim, who is from Ypsilanti, suffered a gunshot wound to the mouth and was taken by ambulance to a hospital, where a bullet was removed from his tongue.

Warren turned himself in two weeks after the shooting, but police said Jackson was at large for months.
