A prison inmate on work release was shot to death by intruders who broke into the apartment he was staying in, police said. Authorities were searching for four suspects who fled on foot after shooting Roland Jackson Tuesday night. Jackson, 24, who served time at the Fishkill Correctional Facility in New York on a drug conviction, was staying with his girlfriend Iesa Rivera and her 6-year-old son. Also present at the time of the shooting were Jackson's sister and her child, who were all unharmed. The intruders broke into the residence and separated Rivera and the others from Jackson, and threatened him before shooting him, said police Chief Matthew Byrne. "It does not appear this was a random act of violence," Byrne said. Jackson was arrested in 2000 after trying to sell crack cocaine to an undercover police officer. He was released from prison in March to finish his sentence on work release. Byrne said Jackson was under the supervision of both the state departments of corrections and parole, and he checked in with supervisors regularly. |
