On July 18, 2008 Christopher "Cornbread" Jackson, also known as Lil Raskel in the Krump world, was shot at a party in Fontana and passed away the following day at Arrowhead Medical Center.

At the time of his death, Jackson was enrolled at Riverside Community College and was planning on trying out for the basketball team in the fall.

He was also a cast member of Buckworld One, a hip hop theatre production that fuses Krump dance, spoken word and video footage. As anyone who knew him will attest, Jackson was an outstanding Krump dancer who could be found taking part in sessions on any given weekend somewhere in Southern California.

He had recently decided that he wanted to pursue a career as a choreographer and was in the process of re-connecting with Buckworld One while re-gaining his focus on continuing his education.

Jackson was also known to be a very good barber and would take advantage of every opportunity to cut his friends' hair. He had attempted to enroll in the Rosson Barber school through the San Bernardino School District last year in order to earn his license, but due to overcrowding he was not allowed to enroll.

A number of tributes have been planned and are ongoing, including car washes, The Fed Krump Session re-named "The Bread" in his honor this Saturday; and a Buckworld One performance at Cross Word Church in Riverside, Saturday August 2 at 5 p.m. Funeral services will be held Monday, July 28 at Loveland Church in Ontario.

According to reports, Jackson was at a house party with 200-300 other partygoers in Fontana when he was shot in the head. As of presstime, police investigators have no suspect or motive. There is an ongoing investigation by the Fontana Police Department. Anyone with any information is encouraged to call (909) 822-1121 or (909) 350-7720

Jackson was the son of Dee Tucker  of Victorville and had two sisters Shuanche and Shamara Jackson.
