Here’s what happened
Back in May 2019, then-20-year-old Jackson was randomly trying to get into homes in south Houston.
He ended up ringing the doorbell of Bun B’s home where Bun’s wife opened the door. Police say that’s when Jackson forced his way inside the home with a gun pointed at her head.
He then tried to rob the couple, and Bun B’s wife, Queenie, told him to take the Audi in the garage.
Bun B, whose real name is Bernard Freeman, was upstairs but reportedly heard the commotion, grabbed his gun, and confronted the suspect.
Gunshots were exchanged between Jackson and Bun.
Jackson suffered a gunshot wound to his left shoulder, according to investigators, and was later found at Pearland Medical Center, where he was taken into custody.

Bun B’s attorney, Charles Adams told KPRC 2 back in May 2019 that he hoped justice for Jackson would be swift.
“There are a lot of people that love Bun and hold him very dearly,” he said. “I wouldn’t want to be Demonte Jackson walking the streets. I hope he stays in jail, but if he doesn’t stay in jail, he might want to get out of Houston.”
