Amid surging homicides in New Orleans, this woman is often one of the first on scene
More than 50 people have been killed in New Orleans since the year began. Tamara Jackson is dispatched to most homicide scenes, but her focus is on the families.
Jackson works for the coroner's office and is dispatched to the scene of as many homicides as she can get to. She comforts victims' loved ones and helps guide them through the legal system.
"Their grief and trauma needs to be addressed," she said. "And I'm a therapist. So even though I'm responding, I'm also able to do that crisis intervention at the time when it's most needed."
