Fifteen-year-old Asia Breonna Woods, a Black honors student from Jackson, Tennessee, was killed on February 6, 2021. Reports say a shooting and a car chase ended near Volunteer Drive; Asia was later found dead in the backseat of a vehicle. She had been on probation for breaking into cars and was reportedly involved with a gang, though authorities have not confirmed a gang connection to the incident.

The investigation involved the Jackson Police Department, Humboldt Police Department, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, and the FBI. An arrest was made: Edtric Devon Rutherford was taken into custody and charged with two counts of felony murder, two counts of attempted first-degree murder, and two counts of employing a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony. Asia’s father, Terrance Woods, said he had tried to steer her away from a dangerous path and expressed profound grief and frustration.

Anyone who knew Asia, her movements that day, or has information about the shooting near Volunteer Drive is asked to come forward.
