Houston, Texas (KTRK) – Authorities said a 19-year-old, who is currently in custody in Fort Bend County, has come forward and admitted his alleged involvement in the 2022 killing of 18-year-old Patrick Jackson Jr.

Markell Hardiway is the second suspect charged in Jackson’s death.

The above video is live 24/7 on ABC13.

Jackson was shot and killed on August 7, 2022, at 9550 Deering Drive. HPD said the shooting stemmed from a potential dispute between the suspect and Jackson.

At the scene, Jackson was found with multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead.

In April 2023, months after the shooting, a 15-year-old who was already being held for a different offense was referred to Harris County Juvenile Control on a first-degree murder charge for his involvement in the case.

Hardiway’s role in the shooting was not immediately revealed, but authorities said he admitted involvement.
