Isaiah Bush was 17 when he was shot and killed on the evening of November 17, 2019, in Hixson, Tennessee. The encounter began as a staged drug transaction intended to rob him on Greendale Way. A struggle occurred during the attempt, and Jonia Ice, then 17, fired a handgun, striking Bush in the head. Police reports say Ice later admitted in text messages to firing the weapon and said she meant to shoot him in the arm.

Investigators identified three people tied to the robbery plot: Jonia Ice, Jermaine Antron Grant Jr., then 20, and Jalaycian Barrow. Ice and Grant were arrested and charged with murder; Barrow was also charged in connection with the incident. Court proceedings resulted in guilty pleas—Ice pleaded to premeditated murder and Grant pleaded to second-degree murder—with both receiving 30-year prison terms. Isaiah’s family attended the proceedings and expressed their grief and anger.

If anyone knew Isaiah, saw activity on Greendale Way that night, or has information about the robbery plan, please share what you know.
