Mary Jane Jackson (born 1836 – vanished around 1863) was an American serial killer, sex worker, and criminal who operated in New Orleans, Louisiana, during the 1840s through the 1860s. She earned the nickname "Bricktop" because of her striking red hair. Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1836.She entered the world of prostitution at the age of 14 and became one of the most formidable women in the French Quarter of New Orleans, notorious for her violent confrontations with men who provoked her, often resulting in severe injuries or fatalities. She established her own brothel on Dauphine Street, collaborating with Delia Swift, known as Bridget Fury, as well as Ellen Collins and America Williams. On December 5, 1861, she fatally stabbed her partner, John Miller. In 1862, she was released from prison by General George Shepley, the military governor of Louisiana, who granted amnesty to all felons, after which she vanished from public view.

This incident is a tragic occurrence involving a cable installer who was shot multiple times during what seems to be an attempted robbery. The behavior of the assailant indicates a possible lack of experience or sound judgment, suggesting that the crime may have been driven by panic or executed poorly. The shooting took place shortly after the victim commenced his work at approximately 12:30 pm, with law enforcement being alerted just before at 12:19 pm. This timing underscores that the event transpired in a public setting, likely in the presence of witnesses. It is possible that the nearby work truck was the intended target for theft, and the perpetrator may have misled the victim into a false sense of security prior to the outbreak of violence. Despite the severity of the situation, there are still numerous investigative paths that could provide clarity on the case.
