Hometown News: UB Grad Gunned Down

A family's celebration of their child receiving a college degree turned to sadness after he was gunned down in cold blood hours later near the University of Buffalo campus. Twenty-three-year-old Javon Jackson, a native of the Bronx, was shot and killed as he was crossing a street in the University Heights section around 3 a.m. Sunday. Buffalo Chief of Detectives Dennis Richards says the gunman was with three other men. Detectives believe Jackson may have been involved in a bar fight shortly before the shooting took place. Buffalo police are asking for the public's help in finding the killer. Jackson just received his engineering degree on Saturday and was out with friends when he was gunned down.
