[edit] Early Life
Like most negros he was raised fatherless. His mother,a cocaine dealer, gave birth to him when she was 15 years old. 8 years later she was murdered and Jackson went to live with his grandparents along with eight aunts and uncles. During this time he began to deal crack cocaine, he also started taking drug money as well as guns to school. In 10th grade he was arrested after he set off a metal detector at Andrew Jackson High School. It was after this incident that Jackson admitted to telling his grandmother openly that he sold drugs. On June 29, 1994, Jackson was arrested for helping to sell four vials of cocaine to an undercover police officer. He was arrested again three weeks later when police searched his home and found heroin, ten ounces of crack cocaine, and a starter gun. He was sentenced to three to nine years in prison, but managed to serve six months in a shock incarceration boot camp, where he earned his GED.
[edit] Shooting
On May 24, 2000, Jackson was attacked by a gunman outside his grandmother's former home in South Jamaica, Queens. He went into a friend's car, but was asked to return to the house to get jewelry. His son was in the house while his grandmother was in the front yard. On returning to the back seat of the car, another car pulled up nearby. An assailant then walked up to Jacksons left side with a 9mm handgun and fired nine shots at close range. He was shot nine times—in the hand (a round hit his right thumb and came out of his pinky), arm, hip, both legs, chest, and left cheek.The face wound resulted in a swollen tongue, the loss of a wisdom tooth, and a small slur in his voice. His friend also sustained a gunshot wound to the hand. They were driven to the hospital where he spent thirteen days in recovery. The alleged shooter was killed three weeks later.
