On 07/312019, a missing person call was made at an address on Hemlock Ln, in Jonesboro, reporting Mr. Shawn Jackson  missing by his live-in girlfriend and son.

 It was later discovered that Mr. Jackson was caught in having an affair.  Ms. Newoker Hurt and the victim had a fight in front of the mistress' house, went home, and fought all day through the night. The son at the time, 17 year old Nicholas Jackson, told investigators that both parties were calm by night fall, and he went to sleep. He was awakened that morning by Ms. Hurt saying that Mr. Jackson, left home in the middle of the night. 

On 8/19/2019, in Jefferson County, Alabama, the remains of an unknown male were found  in a shallow grave. The remains were later determined to be Mr. Jackson by fingerprints, clothing, and tattoos. 

After an extensive investigation, Clayton County Police determined that while Mr. Jackson was asleep, Ms. Hurt shot Mr. Jackson 3 times in the head. She then called her brother, Mr. Shrron Stephan Hurt, to help her dispose of the body. 

On 4/20/2023, CCPD detectives had compiled enough evidence to charge both  Ms. Hurt and her brother with Malice Murder, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, tampering with evidence, and concealing the death of another person.

 Mr. Hurt is currently in federal prison in Huntington, West Virginia on unrelated charges.

Sheriff Levon Allen  activated his Elite Fugitive squad who were able to track Ms. HURT to an apartment in Atlanta, GA. She was taken into custody without incident and is now in Clayton County Jail.

The  Elite Fugitive Squad are the best players of hide and seek  and they find everyone.  Therefore criminals now need to rethink again 2, 3, or even 4 times before committing a crime in Clayton County.
