Loved ones gathered at Tuba Fats Square with drums, horns and chants to honor Sam Jackson. Family members and friends say he was gunned down in a Friday morning (May 5) shooting just a day before he was set to perform at Jazz Fest.
Jackson was killed and a second man, who had not been identified as of Friday night, were at St. Anthony and N. Rampart at 10 a.m. when shots rang out.
