WBFF Fox 45 :: EXCLUSIVE: Victim Didn't Know Suspect In Halloween Party Murder
Wanda Jordan has more questions than answers about her nephew Jecarvin Brown's murder.

Brown was gunned down at a huge party early Saturday morning on rural property along High Point Road in Montgomery County.

"It's so senseless," said Jordan. "I have no words that can express the pain we feel right now."

Brown moved to Jordan's Clarksville home a little more than a year ago in hopes of going to college

"He was trying to focus on his music he took up two jobs to work," said cousin Charity Jordan.

Charity Jordan says her cousin made plenty of friends here.

One of them took him to that party along High Point Road and that's where the trouble started.

Investigators say Brown got into a fight with Shaker Drones, 18.

Wanda Jordan says her nephew didn't know Drones and she has no clue what started the fight.

"Young man pulled out a gun and from what I hear and shot up in the air and shot my nephew," said Jordan.

Authorities say Drones left the scene with four other men.

Harold Mosquera, 18, Syonee Moore, 22, Andre Adams, 21 and courtney hardiman, 19 are all charged with being accessories to the crime.

Drones faces two murder counts.

He's also accused of shooting Jason Rose, 21, when he tried to help.

"I just know the pain they're going through," said Jordan. "Just being a decent human being trying to help my nephew and it took his life."

All 5 suspects will be back in court Wednesday November 7th for their preliminary hearing. EXCLUSIVE: Victim Didn't Know Suspect In Halloween Party Murder

2 appellate court judges are stepping down
May 24, 2013 21:29 GMT

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Two Tennessee appellate court judges have notified Gov. Bill Haslam that they will not run for another term on the bench in the August 2014 retention election.

Patricia J. Cottrell, a judge on the Court of Appeals, and Joseph M. Tipton, who sits on the Court of Criminal Appeals bench, will both leave after September of next year.

The announcements come after the state legislature left Tennessee without a way to replace judges who step down or die when a commission expires at the end of next month.

Members of the soon-to-be-defunct Judicial Nominating Commission will make recommendations for replacements to give to Haslam before the panel expires. Haslam will appoint the replacements from those recommendations.
