Denver Jury Convicts Man in Fatal Shooting | Denver News

A Denver jury convicted Travis Jamahal Jackson, 41, of first-degree murder in the fatal shooting of Michael Milligan, 28, during a botched drug deal near Cheesman Park in November 2023. Jackson allegedly pulled a gun and shot Milligan after the deal went sour, then fled. He also faces charges for attempted murder and assault. Authorities tracked him down via his phone and a key eyewitness ID. Jackson now faces a mandatory life sentence without parole, with sentencing set for August 20. His defense plans to appeal, citing strong points during the two-week trial. This case underscores how fast violence can spiral—and how justice moves forward, even in the face of tragedy.
