‘They were friends:’ Mother reveals new details about deadly graduation shooting

In an interview with 8News, Tameeka Jackson-Smith revealed new details about the relationship between her son, Shawn Jackson, and the alleged gunman who fatally shot him and his stepfather outside a high school graduation.
The tragedy unfolded on June 6 outside the Altria Theater, shortly after Huguenot High School graduates walked across the stage. Jackson-Smith said the morning began with smiles as she and her husband, Renzo Smith, designed graduation shirts for their son and helped him get ready for the day.
“We told him how good he looked. Everybody was happy and smiling. It was just a good day,” she said. “I texted him, and I said, ‘How do you feel?’ He was like, ‘I feel good.’ I said, ‘I’m very proud of you.’ He said, ‘Thank you.'”
Then, moments later, as the family gathered outside the theater, gunshots erupted in the crowd near Monroe Park.
