Following the violent demise of a woman in West Nashville, the Nashville Police Department made an arrest in connection to the incident. Jack Becker, 26, has been charged with criminal homicide after his girlfriend, Autumn Joiner, 30, was fatally shot last Friday morning. The tragedy unfolded within the confines of the couple's Hillmeade Court apartment.

According to a police report, Becker initially claimed to the 911 dispatcher that Joiner had shot herself in the head while they were in bed. Disturbed by the changing stories, police soon heard a different version where Becker alleged that while handling the pistol, his finger accidentally slipped into the trigger guard leading to an unintentional discharge. This version of events is contested by the police investigation.

Homicide detectives, especially Detective Adam Reese, played a key role in charging Becker. Evidence from the scene contradicted Becker’s claim that the incident was accidental. The facts suggest there may have been underlying tensions, with reports indicating Joiner was "unhappy living with him," as mentioned in the official report.

Held under a heavy bond, Becker's freedom has been effectively priced at $500,000. This sum illustrates the gravity of the charge resting on his shoulders and echoes the law's strict stance on such severe allegations.
