 A Red Bee man charged with killing his one-year-old son made another appearance in federal court today. 24-year-old Gary Wayne Jackson Jr. is charged with murder and is accused in the January 2nd death of his son, who died from blunt force trauma to the head, according to the criminal complaint. The death happened on the Red Lake Indian Reservation. That's why it is being prosecuted by federal authorities. According to the complaint, Jackson told his mom in a text message that he hit the boy but didn't want to hurt him like that. Jackson later told the Red Lake police officer that he thought he killed his baby. At today's court hearing, Judge John Huesby granted a motion by prosecutors to keep Jackson in custody until his next court appearance. That court appearance is scheduled for St. Paul on January 12th. If you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS.
