Prosecutors in Philadelphia say Gregory Jackson, 34, an amateur boxer who went by the ring name ' Japan,” fired the first shot Saturday during a fight with another man, Micah Towns.
Philadelphia police look over evidence at the scene of a shooting Sunday, June 5, 2022, in Philadelphia.When Gregory Jackson arrived on South Street on Saturday, he brought a handgun he was licensed to carry. And he fired that gun, prosecutors said, to settle a dispute with another man, sparking a deadly mass shooting that tore through one of Philadelphia’s most popular nightlife hubs.
Philadelphia Police Inspector D. F. Pace looks over evidence at the scene of the shooting on South Street that left three dead and 11 wounded, Saturday, June 4, 2022, in Philadelphia. Amid that chaos, two other people were killed besides Jackson — bystanders Kristopher Minners, 22, and Alexis Quinn, 24. And 11 people were wounded by gunfire. They included Towns, shot by Jackson, and Garner, who was shot in the hand by police in the incident.
On Dec. 10, 2020, a state trooper pulled him over in Norwood, the Delaware County town where Jackson lived, for ignoring a stop sign, according to the affidavit of probable cause filed in his arrest. Clerks working for Magisterial District Judge Michael A. Burns, whose office handled Jackson’s case and its charging documents, referred all comment about the delay in charges to Burns himself. A spokesperson for the Pennsylvania’s judicial system said it would provide a statement about the delay on Wednesday, but no statement was released by early evening.
