The community of Toone, Tennessee lost 13-year-old Javarrie JoJo Robertson and his 38-year-old father Joe Joe Duke Robertson when both were found shot to death in their Naylor Road home on the morning of October 21, 2016. The killings were treated as a violent intrusion and prompted a multiagency investigation led by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the Hardeman County Sheriff’s Department.

Within days investigators announced arrests. Cousins Damein K. Hamer and Jeremy Hamer were charged with two counts of first-degree murder, and Andrian Monique Bullock was also arrested on the same charges. Later developments brought additional arrests: Marquenton Deandra Williams and Erica Angria Beard were arrested in August 2017, with Williams charged with two counts of first-degree murder and Beard charged with criminal conspiracy to commit aggravated burglary and aggravated robbery, and accessory after the fact to first-degree murder. In May 2020 a sixth person, Nakera LaShawn Keith Hamer, was indicted by a Hardeman County grand jury on multiple counts including two counts of first-degree murder; he was then in Georgia custody on unrelated federal charges awaiting extradition.

Several defendants remain before the courts in connection with the double homicide. If anyone knew Javarrie JoJo Robertson or has information about what happened on Naylor Road that morning, please come forward.
