Reserve, Louisiana lost a promising teenager on the evening of June 12, 2025, when 17-year-old Tylik Jackson was shot and killed in the 400 block of Northwest Third Street. Jackson, who had recently graduated from East St. John High School, was found in the street after deputies responded shortly after 8 p.m. to reports of gunfire; he was pronounced dead at the scene after suffering multiple gunshot wounds.

Crime camera footage captured a physical altercation between Jackson and another male just before the shooting. Investigators say the fight, which occurred in the middle of the street, reportedly escalated from a dispute over a girl. Surveillance video is reported to have shown one male running to an apartment, obtaining a firearm from another person, and then returning and firing multiple times.

Within a day two arrests were made. Eighteen-year-old Jaydon Williams of LaPlace was charged with second-degree murder; a 17-year-old, Damon Brown Jr., of Reserve faces charges as a principal to second-degree murder and obstruction of justice. Did anyone in Reserve see or hear anything that night or know more about the people involved?
