Jackson Bruce Watson: Search continues for Warwick man wanted for questioning over Wallace St shooting

New information on the victim of a broad daylight shooting in Warwick has come to light as police continue their search for a man they believe could prove key to their investigation. FULL DETAILS HERE.

The region-wide search for a man urgently wanted for questioning in relation to a shocking public shooting in Warwick is yet to yield results for investigators, more than a week after the violent incident.

Police appealed for information on the whereabouts of Jackson Bruce Watson on Monday night, saying it was believed the 26-year-old Warwick man could assist their investigation into the shooting of fellow Warwick man Jason Martin.

The 37-year-old victim was allegedly shot in the stomach in broad daylight while standing on Wallace St last week, and was flown to Princess Alexandra Hospital to undergo surgery on the life-threatening injury.

Mr Martin remained in a critical condition in the intensive care unit for several days, but has since reached a stable condition and been moved out of the ICU.

Detectives are still urging the public to help locate Mr Watson, who is known to frequent Warwick as well as Toowoomba, Brisbane, and the Gold Coast, but have warned residents not to approach him as he may be armed.

“Police would particularly like to appeal to any associates of Jackson or anyone who may know his whereabouts to make immediate contact,” a spokesman said.

“Police consider him to be dangerous and the public should not approach him if sighted, but contact triple-0 immediately.”

Mr Watson made headlines when he spent weeks on the run in 2018, ending with a dramatic car chase through Killarney, Maryvale, and Yangan before his ultimate arrest in Warwick.

Police used road spikes to stop a car driven by wanted Warwick man Jackson Bruce Watson in a dramatic car chase across the region in 2018.

He was subsequently charged with 25 offences including burglary, arson of a motor vehicle, evading police, and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.

The Warwick man was sentenced for the offending to three and a half years’ jail in Warwick District Court in October, 2019, with parole eligibility from September 20, 2020.

Anyone with information on Mr Watson’s whereabouts is urged to contact triple-0 immediately.

He is described as caucasian, approximately 170cm tall with a proportionate build, and brown hair, and brown eyes.
