U.S. Attorney’s Office February 26, 2010
  • District of Arizona (602) 514-7500

PHOENIX, AZ—Raymond Jackson, 22, of Sacaton, Ariz., was sentenced here to 23 years in prison by U.S. District Judge Frederick J. Martone for killing.

The facts showed that on June 6, 2009, Jackson was drinking beer and arguing with his male victim about their previous time in prison and who was the most “bad.” Jackson insisted he was “more bad” because he had previously served “more time.” The two continued to argue about who was stronger and tougher based upon their gang affiliations. The victim then left the scene, indicating that he was going to get his friends and return.

Jackson followed the victim, ran up to him, and shot the victim one time in the chest. The victim died at the scene.

The investigation in this case was conducted by the Gila River Police Department and the FBI. The prosecution was handled by Sharon Sexton, Assistant U.S. Attorney, District of Arizona, Phoenix, Ariz.
