On March 21st, a citizen reported that a woman had been murdered inside a house on Crooked Putter Drive in southwest Las Vegas. Metro patrol officers responded and found a female dead inside the home.
Homicide detectives were called and discovered that the female, later identified as 36-year-old Amy Marie Trujillo, had been shot.
The investigation identified another occupant of the house, 29-year-old Joehl David Jackowski, as a suspect in the shooting. He was arrested on March 22, 2008 for murder with a deadly weapon.
Jackowski, also known as Devon Theus, is currently being held without bail at the Clark County Detention Center.
codolences to the family ,he should be held fully accountable if he done it,another example of controling egotistical boy`s pretending to be men

Our wild Mamacita how you can never be replaced or even compared to… Never will we forget the strength and deep heart you shared with everyone you met… Always will we wish you were here and never will we forget the “false promoter” that took your life so selfish and cold. He is definately guilty of so much more than murder. Your spirit burns eternally in all our lives… Much Love, Your Big Brother and Sister in Vegas

My heart goes out to all the people that have been effected by this tragidy. I cant imagine the pain that all of Amy’s friends and family must be feeling. I have a close relationship with Joehl, and when I found this out i just started to shake and think… that coulda been me. I wish it was never done to anyone. I didnt know amy, but her name is never far from my mind, as well as the daughters that Joehl (devon) and I share. They read the comments you have left with me and and all they could say is that is so sad. We also have to live with the fact that thier dad has taken the life of what seems to have been a great person. We are sorry, you may not know this but his mother, and sister are sorry also. There are no excuses for what he did. and our oldest child said to me… if he did it then he is exactly were he belongs. I havent spoken to him years, but I woulda begged him to not do it if I had been.

This is hardening, sad, crazy. I don’t know Amy, but I know Joehl very well, since childhood, pre-teen years. I am so, so, so, sorry for your loss, the loss of a loved one. I haven’t seen or spoke to him for a few years and thought I would look him up on the net, just to see…and I found this. Found his name associated to a murder, at first I was like NO, NO, can’t be him, he couldn’t, he wouldn’t snap that hard. Must be someone else! The pictures matched, he looks different and apparently changed and snapped out.
To the family of Amy Marie… My neice was murdered when she was just over a year old, so I can feel and understand your pain, questions, anger, confusion. I’m so sorry, for your loss, she didn’t deserve this and neither do you.
I agree, with his baby momma, I wish I would have been able to stay in contact with him, then maybe this would have been prevented. If there is a voice of reason, he would have listened. I know with the event, its hard to believe that he was ever good, compassionate, and loving, but he has or had that side too him once upon a time, I saw it in the way he would interact with his daughters and he will feel the remorce and guilt for what he did.
I’m not trying to defend him, so please forgive me, Im in shock and disappointed that he did this and this happened to apparently a great woman who never deserved it.
My prayers are with you and may GOD bless you and send your angel to watch over you as she stands in heaven.

Damn…..I remember when we first met in Yakima. Seems like such a long time ago. I’ve been thinking about you off and on for the last 12 years….. wondering how you were doing, where you were. I tried so many times to find you on the Internet….never came up with anything though. I had figured you married and changed your last name. These last few month you kept popping up in my head, so I tried to find you today. I looked on Myspace…..and there you were. I was so excited to have found you that I didn’t even look over your profile, I just went ahead and wrote you…..then I browsed a few of your pictures and read the words, “May you Rest in Peace”. At first I thought it was some new saying because it couldn’t have meant what I thought it might. You had a baby boy when we dated….he must have been just a year old. He’s close to my sons age, a little younger though. I still carry parts of you with me….little sayings…..memories of situation I share with others like the Larkspur ;). I had a picture of you and I, but I can’t seem to find it. I wish I could have gotten in touch with you sooner. Strange, all these years and I couldn’t find you. Wish you were still here. Until next time….

One of the BEST FRIENDS I ever had. I new her since we were in the 6th Grade. She ALWAYS had my back. She even took a few beating for me from Hater Bitches. But that’s what kind of friend she was. Loyal and True!!! She was a fiesty little mama. Never backed down from anyone. I can see her now, In that apartment challenging that man. And he pulled the trigger on her. (Never did she imagine he would do it to her. Never!!! Amy went through her good and bad times but she always cared about her children and her family and friends, Even when she couldn’t be there for them.
Amy’s laugh and smile was contagious, she was a beautiful person. (not perfect, but definately beautiful) People fell in love with her every where she went. She was one of those girls that stood out in a crowd and commanded attention. She had a big heart and went through a lot in life. In case those of you don’t know, Amy lost her mother when she was a child too. So I can’t believe her own children are now living through what she herself went through.
Amy I love you! I love you! I love you! I hope that I can share our stories of good times with your children and pass on all the wonderful memories I have of you and our high school days, camping trips, road trips, and boyfriend adventures. You will live in my heart Always!!!!
