Dead for a number of days

Jason Jackson and his girlfriend, both 34, were discovered by his mother and one of his three brothers after they broke down the door to his Brooklyn apartment.

Family discovered the macabre scene after they hired a locksmith to open the door when family members didn’t hear from one of them in days.

A black handgun was found near the man’s body, police said, PIX11 reported.

Both he and the woman had been shot in the head.

Police said medics pronounced them dead at the scene.

Jackson’s neighbor across the hall, who asked not to be named, said his girlfriend had lived with him since early 2021 or late 2020.

Jason Jackson was into music and had ‘a voice like an angel,’ said the gunman’s brother, Foster Jackson according to the nydailynews. 

‘He was a good kid and sweet boy’ 

‘He was a good kid and sweet boy, and very liked in the neighborhood,’ the brother said.

It remained unclear if the couple lived together at the address and how long they may have been romantically involved.

No known motive was immediately known.
