A man in Wisconsin is accused of committing the first murder of 2025 in Rogers Park thanks to rental car records, telephone location data and volumes video.
Antwon Jackson, 31, was held by judge Dedire Dyer in the weekend after officers of Justice have detailed why they believe that Jackson is the man who killed 28-year-old Jakobe Barker in the 1300 block of West Estes.
Officials said that Jackson rented a Blue Buick -adding from Hertz on Valentine’s Day in Madison and was shown two days later on video in the Sonic Restaurant, 1022 West Wilson, in Uptown. Detectives found at least two other videos that link Jackson to the car, according to an offer submitted by officers.
Very late that night, about 25 minutes before the murder, another video Jackson showed outside with a man who had a gun, the profer said.
At about 12:25 pm on 17 February the video Barker showed that rode near the encore and the two vehicles that seemed to catch up, said prosecutors.
When Barker turned around to go to his girlfriend’s house on Estes, the encore continued straight ahead and then turned around at a gas station to follow him.
While Barker stopped in front of his girlfriend’s house, the encore rode next to him and someone in the encore shot several shots and killed him. Prosecutors believe that Jackson fired who fired shots from the passenger side while a witness was in the driver’s seat.
Police officers found the encore left in the 1400 block of West Catalpa and extended it. Someone who knows that Jackson tried to pick up the encore on the day after the murder, but the police arrested him when he came in, the offer said.
That man and four separate law enforcement officials identified Jackson from images included in Hertz and elsewhere, according to public prosecutors. GPS of the Encore and Jackson’s telephone location history followed together “at all locations, including the scene of the murder,” said the Procferer, who did not offer a clear motive for crime.
