Jackson posted an ad on the Nextdoor app seeking apartment cleaning services. Investigation of his phone showed he explicitly chose to reply only to a lone female respondent while ignoring male or business applicants.
When the victim arrived at his apartment on April 6, 2026, Jackson blindsided her in the bathroom. He stabbed her in the face, neck, and eye with a screwdriver. He also choked her until she nearly lost consciousness.
Jackson held the victim captive for nearly five hours. He repeatedly raped and sexually assaulted her while threatening to kill her if she tried to escape.
