Members of the Living Faith Covenant Church, an LGBT-affirming congregation in Dallas, gathered on February 22 to celebrate the life of Nino Acox Jackson, a 26-year-old black transgender man.
The Rowlett Police Department found Jackson deceased on February 16 in Lake Ray Hubbard, according to the Dallas Voice. Jackson had been missing since January 19.
Texas Department of Public Safety officials found Jackson’s cream
Pontiac Firebird abandoned on the southbound side of President George
Bush Turnpike at 9:30 a.m. on January 20, reports the Dallas Voice. Police issued a “critical missing” bulletin the same day.
Although officials reportedly searched the waters of Lake Ray
Hubbard, their initial search was fruitless, and Jackson’s body was not
discovered until nearly a month later. While the exact circumstances of
his death are unknown, a spokesperson for the Rowlett police told The Voice that Jackson may have committed suicide.
