The words from his loved ones reveal a man who struggled from the womb onward, who tried and failed time and again to free his life of drugs and crime, but who worked to better himself and the world around him, bringing joy to people in his life.
Jackson was shot and killed Nov. 20 as he drove a car on 98th Avenue. He is survived by his fiancee, Fatimah Shabazz, and her niece and nephew —
children he asked to take on as his own after Shabazz’s brother was slain in 2004.
Both police and Jackson’s loved ones said they do not know who shot Jackson, or why, but some friends suspect he’d fallen back into bad habits that would likely have put him in harm’s way.
Jackson was born to a heroin-addicted, prostitute mother 37 years ago in Oakland and had to undergo methadone treatment immediately, said Raynetta Lewis, a program coordinator at the Seventh Step Foundation in Hayward, where Jackson underwent rehabilitation as a parolee.
