Press release from Asheville Police Department
Asheville Police Department investigators are still searching for answers in a homicide case in which a young man was gunned down in front of his family home in Asheville almost two years ago.
Kanize Jackson was just 20 years old when someone shot him in front of his home on Buffalo Street around 7:22 p.m. on Aug. 5, 2020. Today, Kanize would have celebrated his 22nd birthday.
Detectives with APD’s Criminal Investigations Division are asking for someone to come forward to help bring justice for the Jackson family and closure for his mother. Investigators say there are several people within the community who have knowledge of what happened that night on Buffalo Street, and they need those people to speak up.
APD investigators urge anyone with information about this case to send an anonymous tip by texting TIP2APD to 847411 (TIP411) or use the TIP2APD smartphone app. You can also directly contact APD at (828) 252-1110.
