Tragedy in Southeast Atlanta: Daeshun Jackson Dies in Overnight Shooting

In a shocking turn of events, a 28-year-old man named Daeshun Jackson has lost his life following an overnight shooting in southeast Atlanta. The incident occurred in the vicinity of Fire Station #2 on Jonesboro Road, leaving the community in mourning and the city's homicide detectives scrambling for answers.

Daeshun Jackson, a loving father of four, was brought to Fire Station #2 in a private vehicle, shortly before 3 a.m. Firefighters valiantly attempted to save him, but his injuries were too severe, and he tragically succumbed to his wounds at the station.

The location of the actual shooting remains unknown, and no information is currently available about the identity of the shooter. Jonesboro Road near Dorothy Street is currently blocked in both directions due to the ongoing investigation.

Homicide detectives are interviewing the driver of a black Tesla, the vehicle Daeshun Jackson arrived in, in an effort to piece together the events leading up to the fatal shooting. However, no suspects are currently in custody.

Many family, friends, and potential witnesses have rushed to the scene, visibly upset by the loss of Daeshun Jackson. At this time, no information is provided about any suspects or witnesses in the case.

Investigators are using license plate readers and the city's surveillance camera network to trace the origin and location of the shooting. This is a developing story, and updates can be found on our website as more information becomes available.

It's worth noting that in a separate incident, the suspect of a knife attack in Bottrop was arrested by the homicide commission and has been in custody since shortly after the incident was discovered on August 20, 2025.

Our thoughts and condolences go out to the family and friends of Daeshun Jackson during this difficult time. We will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
