A July 4th celebration in Bartlett, Tennessee, ended in tragedy when 17-year-old Bolton High School student Jaylon Cohen was shot and killed the night before, on July 3, 2018. The shooting happened shortly after 9:30 p.m. in the Taco Bell parking lot at Summer Avenue and Appling Road during the town’s fireworks display. Witnesses heard gunshots that were distinct from the fireworks after a fight broke out; Cohen was struck multiple times and later died at St. Francis Bartlett hospital.

Authorities arrested 18-year-old Kentrell Spight in the days after the shooting and charged him with first-degree murder and employing a firearm in the commission of a dangerous felony. Investigators say Spight and two others had allegedly taunted Cohen in an Instagram video seen by Cohen’s girlfriend, and a witness identified Spight from a photo lineup. Spight admitted being near the Taco Bell but said he fled when shots were fired. Police stated the probe was ongoing and more arrests were possible.

Family and friends held a vigil, releasing balloons and lighting candles. Cohen’s sister said he had been shot 14 times and called for justice. If anyone was at the Taco Bell that night or saw the events leading up to the shooting, can you share what you know?
