Ely resident Colon Jackson was arrested last Friday, Aug. 23, on one count of murder.

Jackson was transported to the Washoe County Jail. He appeared before a federal justice magistrate, and stated he was not guilty. His detention hearing will be held Thursday, Aug. 29, before a federal magistrate judge in Reno.

The White Pine County Sheriff’s Office released a statement earlier this week that details information leading up to the investigation and arrest of Jackson.

On Jan. 9, Bliss was taken to the Emergency Room at the William Bee Ririe Hospital and was reportedly unresponsive.

Bliss was flown to the Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City Utah. The Sheriff’s Office was later informed that the child had died. The Sheriff’s Office along with Ely Tribal Police contacted the FBI due to the suspicious circumstances that surrounded the child’s death.

It was determined the child had sustained injuries related to her death that had occurred on the Ely Shoshone Indian Reservation, Indian Country of the United States, making the FBI responsible for the investigation.

On Tuesday, Aug. 27, the U.S. Attorney’s office in conjunction with the FBI held a news conference in Las Vegas.
FBI charges Tribe member in death of toddler
 
In December 2022 Colon Jackson, 31, a member of the Ely Shoshone Tribe, pleaded guilty to one count of voluntary manslaughter. On Jan. 9, 2019, Jackson was taking care of Alyahna Bliss on the Ely Shoshone Indian Reservation after her mother dropped her off while she went to work, according to a release from the office of the U.S. Attorney for the District of Nevada.

Jackson shook and threw the child. Bliss was taken to an emergency room in Ely and was flown to Salt Lake City where she died, the release said.
