On September 25, 2021, four people were killed at a residence in McMinn County, near Athens, Tennessee: 39-year-old Brandy Nicole Harris, 40-year-old Jesse Dupree, 24-year-old Skylar Hawn, and 36-year-old Trevon Hall. Investigators linked the killings to a custody dispute involving a 10-month-old child shared by Jasmine Hall and Trevon Hall.

Authorities say two people, Jasmine Hall and Curtis Dotson Smith, went to the home where an altercation turned deadly. Reports allege Hall opened fire, shooting the child’s father, then encouraged Smith to shoot the others. One witness survived by pretending to be dead; the infant was taken from the scene and later recovered safe.

By April and May 2024 both Hall and Smith had pleaded guilty to charges related to the killings and received multiple consecutive life sentences without parole. Did anyone in the community have contact with the victims or the household around late September 2021 who can add detail about what led up to that night?
