Woman Indicted in Domestic Homicide

Oct. 6, 2020 – A 23-year-old woman was indicted Tuesday in a domestic homicide this summer when she shot at her boyfriend, but struck and killed a woman nearby who was holding a baby, said Shelby County Dist. Atty. Gen. Amy Weirich.

A grand jury indicted Annesha Jackson on charges of first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, employment of a firearm in the commission of a dangerous felony and reckless endangerment.

Police said Jackson was arguing with her baby’s father, pulled a pistol from her purse and began shooting. She missed him, but struck his girlfriend Tiffany Wilson, 24, in the head as she stood nearby holding a one-year-old baby.

She died later at a hospital.

The incident occurred on June 6 this year on Edmondshire Court in the Canterbury Woods Apartments in the Cordova area.

The case is being handled by Chief Prosecutor Greg Gilbert of the District Attorney’s Domestic Violence Unit which handles cases of domestic assault and homicide committed by intimate partners in General Sessions Division 10 and Criminal Court Division 5.
