Freddrick Jackson (born July 11, 2004) is an American serial killer who fatally shot four people in Little Rock, Arkansas, from June 2020 to April 2022, when he was a teenager, for which he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 50 years in prison.[2][3] Under Arkansas law, he would normally have to serve 70 percent of his sentence before becoming eligible for parole. Since he was a juvenile at the time, however, he will instead have his first hearing in 2047, after serving 25 years.
Police records show Little Rock police were called about Jackson seven different times between 2015 and 2018 and detail times where Jackson allegedly threatened to punch an assistant school principal at age 11 to fights at age 14 that left a student with a swollen eye and had been cited numerous instances on charges ranging from disorderly conduct, third-degree battery, and theft by receiving. In a few cases, his parents were called, and other times he was suspended from school. Jackson's uncle Bradley Blackshire was fatally shot by a Little Rock police officer in 2019, and his pregnant mother was shot and killed in 2020.[4]
Little Rock mayor Frank Scott Jr. addressed the city board about Jackson, in which he said that "one of the individuals that's causing a lot of the crime, one of the most violent people in our city, is 17 years old."[4]
