Murder on the DL Torico Jackson

ATL Homicide is a very popular show with two detectives, David Quinn & Vince Velazquez who put murderers behind bars. In Season 1, episode 4 the murder of John Ray is shown. It takes a minute, but Torico Jackson is charged with the crime.

Torico Jackson was ultimately convicted of murder and sentenced to two life sentences. 

TV One describes this show as: When U.S. Air Force veteran John Ray is found beaten and stabbed to death in his apartment, the crime scene looks like a random robbery; Quinn and Velazquez probe Ray's secretive life and discover that the murder was anything but random.

His appeal (see link) incliudes:

On the day he was last seen alive,  Ray,  a  paralegal,  spoke  with a  friend  by  telephone  and  indicated that he was at home in the company of an unnamed man, later identified as Jackson.  Ray explained to his friend that, though he  had  been  spending  time  with  Jackson  recently,  a  background check had  revealed,  among  other  things,  that Jackson had a criminal  history.    Later  that  day,  Ray  spent  time  socializing  with friends and was scheduled to help a soon-to-be roommate service her vehicle; Ray,  however,  did  not  arrive  to  help  his  future  roommate  and was never heard from again.
