OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 11/09/2021, Jordan Jackson, 22, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound while police and a SWAT team closed in on him at the Chateau Forest Apartments in the 6700 block of Church Street in Riverdale. Jackson had been the subject of a multiday manhunt following the November 4 shooting of Henry County Police Officer Paramhans Desai during an attempted arrest near Keys Ferry Road and Floresta Drive in McDonough.
.
On November 4 at approximately 6:00 p.m., Henry County police responded to a domestic dispute near Keys Ferry Road and Floresta Drive. Police alleged that Jackson shot Desai as Desai attempted to arrest him. Jackson left the scene, and authorities obtained an aggravated-assault warrant and launched a large-scale search. Desai subsequently died from his injuries on November 8.
.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation issued a Blue Alert for Jackson, and multiple agencies participated in the search. On November 9, investigators received information that Jackson was at the Chateau Forest Apartments in Riverdale. Clayton County police were tipped to his location at approximately 5:00 p.m., and officers established surveillance around the apartment complex.
.
A multi-agency law-enforcement response converged on the apartment complex, including the Clayton County Police Department SWAT team, Henry County Sheriff’s Office, Georgia State Patrol and U.S. Marshals Service. Residents were evacuated as SWAT personnel prepared to enter the apartment where Jackson was located.
.
Jackson barricaded himself inside a room as SWAT personnel approached. Authorities reported that officers had moved to within feet of Jackson when he shot himself. SWAT personnel subsequently entered and found Jackson dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. No law-enforcement officer fired the fatal shot.
.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation confirmed on November 10 that Jackson had been found dead in Clayton County on the evening of November 9 and cancelled the Blue Alert. His death is classified as suicide under police duress because he fatally shot himself while surrounded by police during an active SWAT operation intended to apprehend him.
.
OFFICER BACKGROUND:
No individual officer fired the fatal shot. The operation involved personnel from several agencies, with the Clayton County Police Department SWAT team conducting the final approach to the apartment where Jackson was barricaded.
