Jarvis Antawn Hines was 23 when he was shot and killed in Brownsville, Tennessee, on the evening of August 31, 2014. He was at his grandmother’s house on Young Street with cousins Javis Powell and Sadarius Delk when an altercation ended with Hines being shot multiple times. Police arrived after a shooting call at about 10:40 p.m.; Hines was found on the ground, taken by EMS, and pronounced dead before reaching the hospital.

Investigators identified 21-year-old Torvarious Exaviel Mason as the shooter based on eyewitness testimony from someone at the scene. Mason was arrested in Covington, returned to Brownsville, and charged with first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder. He was tried, convicted of first-degree premeditated murder, and sentenced to life in prison; an appeal arguing for a voluntary manslaughter instruction and insufficient evidence was denied by the appellate court. The motive was not disclosed, and another shooting occurred in Brownsville that same night; any connection was not specified.

If anyone knew Jarvis, his movements that night, or has information about the events on Young Street, please share what you remember.
