My name is Chiquita, and I am Ri’Chard Jackson’s aunt—his father’s only sister. Ri’Chard was just 18 years old, full of life and dreams, and deeply loved by our family. On Monday, January 26, 2026, our world changed forever. Around 2:30 in the afternoon, we received phone calls that Ri’Chard had been shot right up the street from his grandmother’s house, my mom. I arrived on the scene shortly after my brother, his father, and we were told the devastating news of his death. The shock and pain of losing Ri’Chard so suddenly has left our family heartbroken and struggling to cope with this unimaginable loss.

At this time we are no longer accepting donations as someone special to Ri’Chard has reached out and things will be handled on behalf of his mom and his family we want to say thank you to everyone who has donated.!
