A tranquil neighborhood in Milton experienced turmoil due to a fatal shooting on Monday afternoon that resulted in the death of one man and prompted an immediate police reaction. The Milton Police Department verified that Tervon Jackson, a 31-year-old resident, was shot and killed close to Lucille Johnson Park on November 24, 2025, around 4:31 p.m. Officers found Jackson with numerous gunshot injuries when they arrived. Despite the rapid efforts of first responders, he was declared deceased at the location, causing distress throughout the community.
Quickly, witnesses offered crucial information that assisted law enforcement in beginning to establish the initial aspects of the inquiry. Reports suggested that three males were observed running away on foot soon after the shots were fired, with two of them partly disguised. Officers conducted a search of the area, gathering surveillance recordings from nearby residences and businesses, which enabled investigators to follow the suspects' movements throughout the vicinity.

A K-9 unit was called in to help with the search, following a scent trail that led officers to a marshy, forested region near Pine Street. In that area, police found three males who matched the witnesses' descriptions. The suspects had tried to conceal themselves in the water to escape notice. Officers also discovered more clothing items as well as two semi-automatic firearms that aligned with witness accounts.
The three individuals were apprehended and taken to the Milton Police Department for interviews. Following a deeper investigation, detectives arrested Jayden Jamarco Wright, aged 21, charging him with Murder – Dangerous Depraved/Homicide (F.S.S. 782.04.2), a felony crime. Wright has been processed and placed in the Santa Rosa County Jail without bail, waiting for his first court hearing. The autopsy on Jackson has been finished, and the weapons have been sent to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) for forensic examination.
Authorities have commended the rapid actions of the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office, FDLE Crime Scene Technicians, and the Milton Investigations Unit for their cooperative efforts in resolving the case. The inquiry continues, and police are appealing for anyone with more information to reach out to Chief Jennifer Frank at the Milton Police Department, referring to case numbers MPD25OFF000711 and MPD25OFF000713.
The shooting has caused sorrow in the Milton community as residents cope with the heartbreaking loss of Tervon Jackson. Although the prompt arrest of the suspects has provided some solace, inquiries into the reasons behind the shooting are still being investigated.
