On January 2, 2008, after leaving his home after an argument with his wife, Jason left home to cool off. At 12:46 a.m, he left his home in his blue Dodge Dakota pickup for a short trip to the nearest convenience store. At 12:56, a city-owned camera shows Jason at an intersection. They see a car turning in front of him, investigators believe this was the first interaction with his killer. The same camera shows Jason had circled the block and was back at the same intersection. The other vehicle isn’t far behind him. A chase starts off. At 12:57 a nearby school picks up the chase. The other driver is desperately trying to get Jason to pull over. The other car started flashing their lights. At 14th and Avenue F, the chase stops. They were stopped for 50 seconds. Jason had been stabbed 16 times. Jason quickly bleeding to death, found the strength to try and drive home. Jason’s pickup came to a stop in a neighbor’s front yard. Police believe the car following Jason was a 1985 to 1988 Cadillac DeVille or Fleetwood, or a 1985 to 1990 Oldsmobile 98.
