Jamayla Ervoni Marlowe was a three-year-old girl killed by gunfire in Nashville on the evening of April 12, 2021. Known to family as Bink, Jamayla was described as outgoing and affectionate, the middle of three sisters who loved lip gloss and having her nails done. She was struck in the parking lot of the Cumberland View public housing development during a shooting that erupted after a large group had gathered there.

Police say 23-year-old Thomas L. Winston Jr. arrived in a blue Hyundai Elantra, walked between two buildings, and shots were fired from that direction across the lot. At least three others returned fire. Winston is reported to have dropped a bloody pistol, then fled in his vehicle and later sought hospital treatment for a gunshot wound to his abdomen. He admitted to firing during an interview with detectives and was arrested on criminal homicide and aggravated assault charges in connection with Jamayla’s death; her two-year-old half-sister was also wounded.

What details about the scene or witnesses might help clarify how the exchange began and who fired the fatal shot?
