No one has been arrested or charged with her death.
Another woman, Ashley McKenzie, 20, was killed two days after Jackson on June 14. She answered the door at a home on Cambridge Drive around 1:30 a.m. and was shot once in the head, according to the medical examiner’s report.
McKenzie, a member of the Army National Guard, was the 17th person to be killed in Chattanooga this year. Police have not made an arrest in her slaying.
