Kevin Lamont Minter, 26, was shot and killed at a Marathon gas station on North Highland Avenue in Jackson, Tennessee on the evening of April 15, 2018. Jackson Police identified Minter as the deceased and opened an immediate investigation after the shooting at the pump area left him with fatal injuries.

Early in the inquiry officers sought public help to identify two men they believed were connected to the deadly shooting. Within days investigators arrested a primary suspect, Curtis Mathis Jr., who was charged with first-degree murder and later indicted by a grand jury. The case moved toward trial with prosecutors presenting evidence against Mathis Jr.

The community lost a young man in a brief, violent episode; the investigation and court process followed rapidly afterward. If anyone saw the events at the Marathon station that night or has information about the people involved, please come forward to assist the ongoing case.
