Jadon Simon, 34, was shot and killed on November 26, 2021, after a confrontation in the parking lot of the Lucky 7 Discount Grocery and Tobacco on Jones Avenue in Nashville. After the first shots, the assailant continued firing at the vehicle as Simon tried to drive away. The car stopped at the intersection of Douglas and Jones Avenues, where the children escaped and hid nearby.

Simon was found on the sidewalk with multiple gunshot wounds and taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. Nashville police identified 57-year-old Melvin Nettles as the suspect; he was arrested on December 13, 2021, and during questioning admitted to shooting Simon with a 9mm pistol. Nettles was charged with criminal homicide, carjacking, two counts of aggravated assault, being a felon in possession of a weapon, and theft of a vehicle, and the case was indicted and moved to Davidson County Criminal Court.

Does anyone have information about the events in that Lucky 7 parking lot or about Simon’s last movements that day?
