James Roberson, 25, was shot and killed around 9:15 a.m. on Tuesday, January 20, 2015, in Jackson, Tennessee. He had been at 12 Woodberry Trail to pick up a friend; Roberson and his friend were seated in a car when a white Nissan Maxima pulled up, a male exited and opened fire, striking the vehicle multiple times. Roberson’s passenger escaped unharmed, but Roberson was shot as he tried to get out. Officers found his body on the ground next to a parked car.

Police identified 25-year-old Jeremy Echols of Jackson as a person of interest and, after further investigation, determined Echols had a motive and had planned to kill Roberson. Echols was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. At the time of that arrest he was already facing Jackson City Court charges of unlawful possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and theft for possessing a stolen handgun, stemming from a search-warrant arrest the previous week; his criminal history includes felony evading arrest in 2008 and possession of marijuana with intent to sell in 2012. Echols was held in the Madison County Jail.

Does anyone have information about Roberson, his movements that morning, or the white Nissan Maxima seen at 12 Woodberry Trail?
