On November 27, 2017, 18-year-old Tyvonceea Hayden was fatally shot while riding a Metro Transit Authority bus near the Madison Library in Madison, Tennessee. Witnesses say Hayden and another passenger, 18-year-old Antonio Jones, exchanged only a few words before Jones allegedly pulled out a gun and shot Hayden in the chest as the bus traveled along Gallatin Pike. The bus driver stopped and passengers scattered.

Jones and a girlfriend who was carrying an infant fled the scene in different directions. Jones later turned himself in when a family member drove him to the police department; the girlfriend was located and taken into custody the same day. Investigators reported Hayden had been dating a relative of Jones, which they said could be a motive. Jones was charged with criminal homicide in connection with Hayden’s death.

If anyone on the bus or in the Madison area that day has information about what led up to the shooting, please share details that might help clarify the timeline or motive.
