Now, cops say six people were arrested in Ocala for the murder of Jackson who was slain Sunday. Jackson was beaten with an axe, shot several times and then his body, stuffed in a sleeping bag, was burned in a fire pit. His remains were dumped in paint cans. Marion County sheriff's detectives said the way the defendants carried out the crime was "unlike anything they had ever seen."
Friends, said Jackson had fought recently with one of the suspects, Michael Bargo, 18, who was dating Jackson's ex-girlfriend.

Bargo, 18; Charlie Kay Ely, 18; Justin Soto, 20; and two minors face first-degree murder charges, the Marion County Sheriff's Office said. James Haven, 37, faces charges of accessory to the crime for allegedly helping to dispose the boy's remains and driving one of the suspects out of the area to avoid arrest, authorities said. Apparently, the slaying was part of a long-standing beef.
Lacy Lyons, 18, described Jackson as a "good kid" who did well in school.
"He had the cutest little smile," Lyons said.
Jones added: "It's just boys and their stupid fights. It's just who wants to be the bigger man."
