Friday’s vigil was held in Jackson’s home state of Maryland as friends, family and members of the community gathered to remember the 24-year-old and two others who died in a car crash on July 6.
The shooting happened around 10:00 p.m. at Jackson’s former high school in Upper Marlboro, according to Prince Georges County Police Department.
