8 People In Custody For Murder of Mahogany Jackson

This has got to be one of the most horrifying stories I have heard in a while.

This young woman, Mahogany Jackson, was set upon allegedly by eight people she knew, and tortured/sexually assaulted to death.  What makes it more shocking and bizarre is how many women participated in it.  I cannot imagine the backstory that led to this level of brutality against Mahogany Jackson, just why?

According to this report, it began with Jackson confronting one of the men about a gun and some money allegedly stolen from her purse.  Jackson allegedly "made him strip to prove he didn't have it," which if true sounds like they may be something of a low-key criminal element as a cohort.  I don't know any girls who know any guys who might steal a gun from them, and then go over and "make him strip to prove it."   Bit of a hard charger if so.

But also, this is their side of the story after she's dead.

There are a lot of details missing in the reporting between Jackson allegedly making one of the men strip to prove he didn't rob her, and Jackson then being held against her will and repeatedly assaulted.

But she's known to have sent heartbreaking messages begging for help to her family.  And now they have to deal with all of these trials. What a horrible case.
