On a late June morning in Jackson, Tennessee, 18-year-old Isaiah Day was fatally shot while a passenger in a stolen car in the 2000 block of Hollywood. The driver, 35-year-old Eugene Richmond of Memphis, reportedly had stolen that vehicle in Memphis around 7 a.m. that day. As Day was getting out of the car at about 9:20 a.m., Richmond shot him; Day was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead.

Richmond fled north on Hollywood in the stolen car; police later found the abandoned vehicle at an Interstate 40 rest area in Madison County. Richmond then stole a second car from a business on the 2300 block of North Highland Avenue, and was arrested around 1 p.m. after employees at a furniture store on Commerce Center Circle confronted an armed man attempting another theft. Officers recovered the second stolen vehicle and a handgun. Richmond, who has prior convictions including aggravated assault, voluntary manslaughter, and multiple auto burglaries, was booked in the Madison County Jail and was expected to face murder and theft-related charges. The motive remains under investigation.

Did anyone in Jackson see the stolen car or have information about Richmond’s movements earlier that morning?
