Nashville police have apprehended a suspect in connection with the shooting death of Charmaine Goodloe, which occurred late last month at the Overlook Ridge Apartments. According to the official reports, 19-year-old Jabaree Q. Jones has been charged with criminal homicide for his alleged role in the incident on August 26.
On a night barely veiling a future bereft of Goodloe's presence, she was sitting with a friend in a breezeway at the apartment complex located at 2400 Buena Vista Pike when the fatal shots rang out. Despite being rushed to Vanderbilt, Goodloe did not survive. The ongoing investigation, led by Detective Joe Gawlowski, identified Jones as the individual in the suspect car at the time of the shooting. He was arrested later this afternoon by Specialized Investigations Division TITANS detectives at another apartment complex on Cheyenne Boulevard.
Jones is currently in custody with no bond, awaiting a hearing to decide the next steps in his case. This is seen as a key moment in the pursuit of justice for Goodloe. Few details about his capture have been shared, offering only a brief outline of how a teenager became involved in this tragic event.
While Jones's apprehension marks progress in a case that has sparked community outrage, authorities indicate the investigation is ongoing. Additional arrests "are anticipated," as mentioned in the police report, hinting at the widening scope of the inquiry.
