Jonathan Ray Rollins, 47, of Winchester, Tennessee, was shot and killed on the afternoon of Sunday, November 20, 2022. Deputies from the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office first responded to a reported burglary in progress at a residence on Freedom Lane; when they arrived they found Rollins with at least one gunshot wound. He was taken to Southern Tennessee Regional Health Systems in Winchester and was pronounced dead.

Rollins, a self-employed mechanic and a native of Franklin County born November 27, 1974, was described as outgoing and devoted to his family. The incident was treated as a homicide. Authorities later identified a suspect; in January 2023 a Franklin County grand jury indicted Kristi Renae Pearson on multiple counts including first-degree murder, felony murder, especially aggravated robbery and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon. Pearson was in custody in Fannin County, Georgia, on unrelated charges and was awaiting extradition to Franklin County to face the indictment.
