19-year-old Shakeyah Jackson died Monday, more than 10 months after she was shot multiple times during a Roseland neighborhood home invasion and shooting that killed four other people last year.

Jackson died at 6:54 p.m. Monday at Oaklawn Respiratory and Rehabilitation Center, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office. She had been in a coma since the shooting.
The home invasion was a botched robbery of a drug dealer that happened Dec. 17, 2016, in the 100 block of West 105th Street, prosecutors said earlier this year.
Lionel Parks, 29, visited Elijah Jackson‘s home twice that day, chatting with Jackson and smoking marijuana with him, prosecutors said.

When he returned a third time that day, Parks and an unnamed friend were armed with handguns and forced their way inside. They ordered the occupants to lay facedown on the floor as they ransacked the house for guns and drugs, prosecutors said.
Before leaving, Parks and the second gunman executed Elijah Jackson; his pregnant sister, Shacora Jackson; Shacora’s 19-year-old daughter, Nateyah Yafah Hines; and 46-year-old Scott Travis Thompson, according to prosecutors.
Thompson’s 22-year-old nephew survived by playing dead as he lay on the floor beside his uncle. Parks remains held without bond at the Cook County Jail.
