A fund has been set up for the parents of Kristyana Jackson to receive money for funeral arrangements. Judy Ballard, Kristyana Jackson’s aunt, set up the fund at Elcose Federal Credit Union. She said Kimi and John Jackson are the only beneficiaries.

The bank is at 1811 S. Main St., Elkhart. If mailing a check, people should put a note that they want the money to go to the Jackson Memorial Fund. If people wish to wire the money, they should call the bank at 295-0093.

The Elkhart Police Department is investigating the shooting and looking for the three men involved. Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the EPD at 295-7070. “It’s been assigned to the homicide unit and they’ll investigate it with priority like they would any homicide and if any other resources are needed they’ll be given to the homicide unit,” said EPD Lt. Laura Koch.

She said there was no further information as of Tuesday afternoon.

Kristyana died on Sunday at Memorial Hospital in South Bend after sustaining a gunshot wound to the head as a result of a home invasion on Friday. She and her mother were returning home from the Elkhart Memorial-Central football game when they were rushed by three men.

Her relatives and friends held a vigil on Monday evening that hundreds of people attended. There will be a visitation from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday at AGAPE Missionary Baptist Church, 248 W. Wolf Ave., Elkhart. Funeral services will be at 11 a.m. Saturday with visitation at 10 a.m., also at the church.
