CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. — The Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers has announced an increase in the award for a Port Charlotte Teen who was found deceased in 2019.

In October, Fox 4 tried to attain the autopsy report to help shed some light on what happened, but the Charlotte County Medical Examiner’s Office said they couldn’t release it because of the ongoing investigation.
An anonymous donor donated a $50,000 reward for tips that lead to an arrest, and Crime Stoppers is offering $3,000.
Anyone with information on the death investigation of Gage Jackson is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-TIPS (8477).
