On the late evening of September 28, 2022, a dispute in the McDonald’s parking lot on South Rutherford Boulevard in Murfreesboro ended in gunfire. Twenty-four-year-old Kevin Vernell Washington was shot multiple times and died after being taken to a hospital. Bullets also struck a restaurant window and two vehicles, and employees sheltered inside until police declared the scene safe.

Investigators reported the shooting did not appear random and that Washington and the shooter may have known each other. Detectives believe both Washington and the person later charged exchanged gunfire during the altercation. Less than a month later, on October 20, 2022, 20-year-old Cameron Jordan was arrested at his workplace in La Vergne with assistance from the La Vergne Police Department and a K9 unit and was charged with second-degree murder, held on $500,000 bond. The motive for the confrontation remained under investigation.
