Two more individuals linked to the murder of Tyquan Jackson on July 26 were apprehended yesterday, Nashville authorities confirmed. In an incident that sprawled from a restaurant parking lot to the highway, Jackson, 26, was fatally shot after chasing individuals he believed to be breaking into his car. The Nashville Metro Police Department's TITANS Unit took James Redmond, 20, and Keilon Williams, 24, into custody, suspects believed to have been in the backseat of the getaway vehicle during the shooting.
The preliminary investigation, conducted by the Homicide Unit under Detective Adam Reese, pieced together a narrative that began with Jackson at The End Zone restaurant and bar. Discovering a break-in at his Hyundai Kona, he attempted to pursue the culprits, only for shots to subsequently be fired from their vehicle, as disclosed in an official statement by the police. Prior to Redmond and Williams, two others, Jonathan Brewington Jr., 20, and Hannah Crague, 34, had already been arrested on August 1, both admitting to being present but denying they were the shooters.
Williams' arrest occurred without incident on Rosa L. Parks Boulevard, during which a firearm and marijuana were found in his possession. In his subsequent admission to detectives, Williams acknowledged his role as one of the shooters in the crime. His charges now include criminal homicide and motor vehicle burglary, with his bond set at $110,000. Redmond's capture came only with a chase that extended into Robertson County, where his vehicle was disabled on I-24 West near Pleasant View after a collaborative effort involving the Tennessee Highway Patrol.
Redmond attempted to flee on foot and momentarily evaded capture by secluding himself in the wooded median. However, he couldn't long elude the MNPD Canine Units, who successfully navigated the dense forest with aviation support from THP. In time, Officer Daniel Kallman and Canine Nala located and apprehended the suspect. Redmond now faces charges of criminal homicide, motor vehicle burglary, and two counts of evading arrest, with his bond set at $175,000.
