Published on February 04, 2026
A Kalamazoo man has been convicted in connection to a 2024 shooting that resulted in numerous people being injured.
On December 3, 2024, at approximately 5:19 p.m., Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety (KDPS) officers were dispatched to the 4200 block of West Main St for a report of shots fired. First arriving officers discovered that three people had been struck by gunfire, with a fourth being injured by shrapnel.
During an extensive investigation, which included digital evidence, ballistic analysis, and forensic work, detectives identified Javion Jamar Jackson and Dominique Daurye Motton as suspects in the shooting. Both suspects were eventually located and taken into custody.
On February 4, 2026, a jury found Mr. Jackson guilty of the following charges:
- Assault with intent to commit murder (x 5)
- Assault with intent to do great bodily harm, less than murder (x 3)
- Discharging a firearm from a vehicle causing injury (x 3)
- Felony firearm (x 11)
- Carrying a concealed weapon
- Tampering with evidence
Mr. Jackson is scheduled to be sentenced March 9, 2026, by the Honorable Paul J. Bridenstine. Mr. Motton is currently awaiting trial for his role in the shooting.
"While no court decision can undo the harm caused, today’s conviction does bring a measure of accountability in a case that shook our community” said Executive Lieutenant Robert Holdwick with the Criminal Investigations Division. “Our thoughts remain with those who suffered at the hands of Mr. Jackson."
