U.S. Marshall Pete Elliot says they had received tips from the public and also worked with the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Office and Cleveland Heights Police. He explains that citizen participation is a key factor in tracking wanted felons.
Jackson was booked for the murder of Tracy Pickryl, the worker who was gunned down during an early morning hold up, at the laundromat on West 25th Street. Detectives say Jackson is also wanted for crimes in Lorain and Sandusky Counties.
