Family pleads for answers in Lawndale man’s murder

IN THE LAWNDALE apartment complex where her 22-year-old son, Lawrence Jackson, was gunned down April 12, Denise Wilson looked to the sky during a vigil for her son Thursday and uttered a plea. “If anybody saw anything that night, please say something,” she told residents who peeked out their third-floor windows at the crowd of about 75 who gathered at the complex on Oxford Avenue near Levick Street. “I’m begging y’all. Please.”

Sean Bailey, 44, signs a poster of Lawrence Jackson, shot dead in April in Lawndale, at a vigil held for the man Thursday night.
