Dallas Police Officer Fatally Shot; Was R.I. Native

Victim Leaves Wife Of 2 Months

POSTED: 3:55 pm EST November 13, 2005
UPDATED: 6:13 pm EST November 13, 2005

DALLAS -- A Dallas police officer with ties to Southern New England was shot and killed Sunday by a suspect he was chasing on foot, Police Chief David Kunkle said.

Officer Brian Jackson was a native of Rhode Island. He was pronounced dead at Baylor University Medical Center at 3:52 a.m., Kunkle said. He was 28.

Jackson and another officer responded to a disturbance call on Madera Avenue in East Dallas early Sunday and chased a male suspect in his late 20s through alleys and between houses, police said. The man fired at the officers and fatally shot Jackson under the arm, Kunkle said.

The suspect was taken into custody following the incident. His name was not immediately released.

Jackson was a 5-year veteran of the Dallas police force and had previously served with the New York Police Department, Kunkle said.

The Providence Journal reported that Jackson graduated from the University of Rhode Island, and his parents live in Middletown.

"He was a very kind, compassionate man who cared deeply about his wife and family and his job," said Kunkle, who was visibly shaken during a news conference. He said Jackson had been married to his wife, Joanne, for just two months.

Jackson was the first Dallas officer killed since Oct. 23, 2002, when an off-duty officer died in a traffic accident. Patrick Metzler was killed when a sport utility vehicle hit his police cruiser, causing it to burst into flames.

A Swansea, Mass., police officer was killed early Nov. 5 when a pickup truck slammed into his police SUV. Lt. Robert Cabral was laid to rest Thursday. The driver of the pickup was later charged with drunken driving resulting in motor vehicle homicide.

Officer Killed In Dallas Will Be Buried In R.I.

Victim Leaves Wife Of 2 Months

DALLAS -- A Dallas police officer who was killed in the line of duty will be returned to his native Rhode Island for burial.

Officer Brian Jackson was fatally shot during a foot chase Sunday through alleys and between houses. Juan Lizcano, 28, was charged with capital murder and aggravated assault and held on $1 million bail.

NBC 10's Brian Crandall reported that Jackson's parents have gone to Texas to bring home their son's body. A wake will be held Sunday, followed by a funeral Monday on Aquidneck Island, according to a local officer helping out with the arrangements.

A memorial service will be held in Dallas on Friday before Jackson's body is returned to Rhode Island. About 100 Dallas officers are expected to come to Rhode Island for the funeral.

Jackson, a 5-year veteran, was hit once under his right arm, near his protective vest, according to police. He had previously served with the New York Police Department.

"He was proud to be a cop," Police Chief David Kunkle said. "He did his job with a lot of emotions and passion."

Jackson, 28, was a graduate of Portsmouth High School and of the University of Rhode Island. His parents live in Middletown. The family said in a statement he will be remembered for his good humor, his sense of duty, and his love for his family.

"He was killed in the line of duty, doing the job he loved, helping secure the safety of the citizens of Dallas," the statement said.

Lizcano had been threatening his ex-girlfriend, neighbor David Huerta said, and Huerta threatened to call police if he continued. Huerta said Lizcano replied: "Go ahead and call the damn cops. I'll take them down, too."

The ex-girlfriend, Marta Cruz, called police early Sunday, saying Lizcano had come to her house, brandished a gun and shot into the air. Before fleeing, he told her "next time, it will be you," she said.

Jackson responded to her home. About 45 minutes later, a second call came in reporting the man had returned. Police saw a man with a gun run into the back yard and chased him. After Johnson was struck, Lizcano surrendered.

Jackson was pronounced dead at Baylor University Medical Center at 3:52 a.m. He married his wife, JoAnn DeMello Jackson, on the University of Rhode Island campus in August, and the couple had just returned from a delayed honeymoon trip to Hawaii, according to his family.

Jackson and Ryan Duffy, a Newport police patrolman, earned their emergency medical technician certificates while students at URI and volunteered on the university's ambulance, The Providence Journal reported.

"He died doing exactly what he wanted to do," said Duffy, a close friend. "That's probably the best comfort we have."

Charlestown police Sgt. Patrick J. McMahon McMahon was Jackson's supervisor when Jackson was a reserve officer in Charlestown. He said he spoke with JoAnn DeMello Jackson on Sunday.

"She's just lost," McMahon said.

Jackson was the first Dallas officer killed since Oct. 23, 2002, when an off-duty officer died in a traffic accident. Patrick Metzler was killed when a sport utility vehicle hit his police cruiser, causing it to burst into flames.

A Swansea, Mass., police officer was killed early Nov. 5 when a pickup truck slammed into his police SUV. Lt. Robert Cabral was laid to rest Thursday. The driver of the pickup was later charged with drunken driving resulting in motor vehicle homicide.

Dallas prepares to honor fallen officer from R.I.

As family, friends and fellow Dallas police officers plan services for Brian H. Jackson, a 28-year-old immigrant is charged with capital murder in connection with his death.

Tuesday, November 15, 2005



BY KAREN LEE ZINER
Journal Staff Writer



Flags were lowered to half staff in Dallas and the police draped their badges in black in honor of slain police officer Brian H. Jackson, a former Rhode Island resident who was killed Sunday in the line of duty.

Jackson, 28, a graduate of Portsmouth High School and the University of Rhode Island, was shot during a gunfight that erupted near the scene of a reported domestic disturbance.
His father, retired Navy Capt. John Jackson, said in a statement issued Sunday that his son "was killed in the line of duty, doing the job he loved." John Jackson said his son "will be remembered for his good humor, his sense of duty, and his love for his family."

Juan Lizcano, a 28-year-old Mexican immigrant, was being held on charges of capital murder and aggravated assault in connection with Jackson's shooting, the police said.

Immigration authorities filed a detention request with the police because he is allegedly in the United States illegally. If Texas authorities were to release him at any time, he would be turned over to federal officials.

A funeral for Jackson will be held at 11 a.m. Friday at the Highland Oaks Church of Christ, in Dallas, a non-denominational parish whose large auditorium has accommodated prior funerals for fallen Dallas police officers or firefighters.

A candlelight service will be held tomorrow night from 7 to 7:30, at the Central Operations Division station where Jackson worked, said Senior Cpl. Max Geron, of the Dallas Police Department.

Meanwhile, calling hours will be held Sunday and a public memorial service will be held on Monday in Rhode Island. The locations have not yet been determined.

Jackson's body is being guarded around the clock by a police honor guard at the Restland Funeral Home, said funeral director Brian Barrett.

"As a matter of fact, the police have been with his body from the point of the shooting, to the hospital, to the medical examiner's office. They will remain with him throughout the services," Barrett said.

Official calling hours are Thursday from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., but visitors will be welcomed at any time between now and then, Barrett said.

Jackson's body will be flown to Rhode Island on Saturday, accompanied by up to 100 Dallas police officers, said Charlestown Police Sgt. Patrick J. McMahon, who worked with Jackson and Jackson's wife, JoAnn DeMello, when they both worked in South County as volunteer EMTs for Charlestown Rescue.

The calling hours and memorial service are open to the public, friends, family and the law enforcement community, McMahon said. There will be no public burial.

Jackson's body will be cremated, said Barrett, the Dallas funeral director. However, a headstone with Jackson's name on it will be placed in the Restland Park Cemetery.

"It will give people a place to come and memorialize him," Barrett said. That includes Jackson's wife, Barrett said, whom Jackson married in August at the URI campus and who now lives in Dallas.

A flag at half-staff at the Jack Evans Police Headquarters Building, in Dallas, for Brian H. Jackson, a graduate of Portsmouth High School and the University of Rhode Island.

Jackson's headstone will be placed next to that of the last fallen Dallas police officer, who was also cremated, Barrett said.

A procession that will include motorcycle officers and squad cars will escort Jackson's body on the five-mile ride to the church, Barrett said. The family has opted to ride in squad cars, rather than limousines, he added.

A Catholic priest who is also a Dallas Police chaplain, will conduct the funeral Mass, Barrett said.

The Highland Oaks Church of Christ is at 1085 Kingsley Rd., in Dallas. The Restland Funeral Home is at 9220 Restland Rd. in that city.

"We have been the host church for many of the city's funerals," said Gina Lasby, spokeswoman for the Highland Oaks Church of Christ. "We can fit up to 3,000 people" in the church auditorium.

Portsmouth High School Principal Robert Littlefield said that the school will devote a moment of silence to Jackson's honor this morning. Jackson, a 1995 graduate of that school, played varsity football there.

His quote in the high school yearbook reflected his family's many Navy relocations, but also proved to be somewhat "prophetic," Littlefield said.

It reads, "Make the most of today, for you may start tomorrow in a new, strange and different place."

According to the Dallas Morning News, bail was set for Lizcano, the suspect in Jackson's death, at $1 million and $25,000 on the charges of capital murder and aggravated assault, respectively.

The Dallas Morning News reported that Jackson had been working late Saturday to help solve a recent double homicide, and was among the officers who responded to a reported domestic disturbance in the 2400 block of North Henderson.

Marta Cruz, whom the police identified as Lizcano's ex-girlfriend, said Lizcano arrived at her home at about 1:55 a.m. Sunday, pulled a handgun, shot into the ceiling, then pointed the gun at her, saying, "Next time, it will be you," according to the Dallas Morning News account.

Cruz called the police after Lizcano fled, then about 45 minutes later, he returned, the paper stated. Jackson, one of several officers who reported to the scene, pursued the suspect on foot as he jumped over fences and ran through yards.

Three officers were fired upon as they searched an alley, but they did not return fire, the report said.

As he searched for Lizcano in the 2400 block of Madera Street,in the Old East Dallas neighborhood, Jackson was hit once in his right underarm. He had fired two or three rounds before going down, according to the Dallas Morning News account. Jackson died at 3:52 a.m. at Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas.

Staff writer Rich Salit contributed to this report.

A Brian H. Jackson Memorial Fund has been established at the City Credit Union of Dallas, 1400 South Lamar St., Suite 2006, Dallas, Texas, 75215.
