Shooting Incidents Under Investigation
Police are investigating two separate shooting incidents involving the same victim, Kenneth Tyrone Jackson, 26, of Hagerstown. The first incident occurred on November 11, 2024, at approximately 7:20 p.m. in the 100 block of West Bethel Street. Jackson sustained a gunshot wound to the leg and was treated and released from Meritus Medical Center.
The second incident took place in the early hours of November 15, 2024, in the 200 block of West Franklin Street. Jackson suffered a gunshot wound to the shoulder and was transported to Meritus Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.
Authorities do not believe the two incidents are connected. Initial investigations suggest that both shooters were known to Jackson, and neither incident appears to have been random. Both cases remain active, with further details to be released as the investigations progress.
