In winter 2019, 47-year-old Jamar Pillow was shot and killed inside his Fairwin Avenue home in Nashville. His girlfriend, 28-year-old Kristina Arnold, called 911 the night of December 17 to report she had shot him. Police found Pillow in bed with a single gunshot wound; he was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center and died from his injuries on December 18, 2019.

Arnold was taken into custody and initially charged with attempted criminal homicide; after Pillow’s death the charge was upgraded to criminal homicide. During the 911 call she reportedly said something told her to do it and that the devil was in the residence. Her defense later argued she experienced a psychotic episode; she was ultimately found guilty of criminal homicide and sentenced to prison.

Pillow is survived by his father, a son, a daughter, and two sisters. Does anyone have information about Pillow’s last days or knew the family that could help fill in what led to that night?
