Henderson of the HPD Homicide Division revealed that the now-deceased suspect, Treyvon Johnson, 32, was presumably the victim's boyfriend and he was last seen with her in her blue Honda Accord.

As the investigation into Jackson's death continues, HPD has appealed to the public for additional information. They encourage those with knowledge of the case to step forward, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of the events that led to these chilling outcomes. With Johnson's death ruled a likely suicide, as indicated by the Beaumont police's account of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
