GALLUP, New Mexico – The police department in Gallup, New Mexico has disclosed new details surrounding the events leading up to the passing of Tito Jackson, a musician known for his contribution to the music industry. Before his demise at the age of 70, Jackson encountered a medical emergency near the American Heritage Plaza mall, prompting authorities to take action.
A local officer stationed near the mall called for an ambulance upon learning about an individual in need of urgent medical attention. The individual was swiftly taken to a nearby hospital, where he later succumbed to the medical emergency. In response to the situation, detectives and the Office of the Medical Investigator were summoned to the hospital for further inquiries and assessments.
Jackson, who was on a road trip at the time, left behind a legacy that continues to resonate with fans worldwide. Although the exact cause of his death remains undisclosed, an ongoing preliminary investigation aims to shed light on the circumstances. Authorities are actively engaging with witnesses and examining various forms of evidence, both physical and electronic, to unravel the events leading to Jackson’s passing.
In the wake of their father’s sudden death, Jackson’s three sons – Taj, Taryll, and TJ – collectively voiced their shock, sadness, and heartbreak over the loss of their beloved father. Describing him as an incredible man who deeply cared for others, the brothers expressed their grief and reflected on the profound impact their father had on those around him.
Earlier this month, Jackson performed in Surrey, England, alongside his brothers Jackie and Marlon – an experience that turned out to be their final performance together. Before heading back to the United States, the musicians paid a visit to a memorial in Munich, Germany, dedicated to their late brother Michael. The gesture was a poignant moment for the family, underscoring the significance of honoring their shared legacy and keeping Michael’s spirit alive.
Born Toriano Adaryll Jackson on October 15, 1953 in Gary, Indiana, Jackson was a cherished figure in the music industry. Having recently relocated to Tulsa, Oklahoma, he leaves behind a legacy survived by his mother, Katherine, his brothers Jermaine, Randy, Marlon, and Jackie, as well as his sisters Janet, Rebbie, and La Toya – a testament to the lasting impact of his presence in the lives of his loved ones.
