On Sunday July 17, there was a shooting that resulted in the deaths of three Baton Rouge police officers and injury to several others. While the investigation is ongoing details surrounding the tragedy are beginning to be released. One such detail is the identity of a fallen officer.
Officer Montrell Jackson served the Baton Rouge community for ten years before he was shot and killed at the age of 32. He had recently welcomed the birth of a child, and has been described by those close to him as "the backbone of the family."
