A dispute over a bad drug deal ended in murder in Powell, Tennessee. Nineteen-year-old Cameron Smith was shot and killed on October 10, 2017, while driving a Chrysler Sebring on West Emory Road with his friend Luke Halliburton. The two were pursued and fired upon from a black Mustang after being lured to Ammons Street under the pretense of settling a debt that began when Halliburton used counterfeit money to buy marijuana days earlier.

Investigators identified 21-year-old Jorge Ortiz Gonzalez, 19-year-old Cameron Brewer, and 16-year-old Justin Gonzalez as the group who set up the meeting; Justin Gonzalez was determined to be the shooter and was charged as an adult. All three were arrested a few weeks after the shooting, later pleaded guilty to their roles in Smith’s murder and the attempted killing of Halliburton, and in August 2018 were each sentenced to 25 years in prison.

Are there details about the lead-up to the confrontation or witnesses from West Emory Road or Ammons Street who can add context to what happened that day?
