Seventeen-year-old Shomari Peterson Jr. was killed in Jackson, Tennessee, during a July 27, 2014 dispute at the Parkway East Apartments. The shooting happened about 5:07 p.m. on Carver Avenue; officers arriving at the scene found Peterson dead and a 21-year-old man, Thomas Reid, critically wounded and taken to a local hospital.

Witnesses say the incident began when 17-year-old Jernigel Blackwell (also known as Jernigel Waller) fired a shot into the air, then both he and his 21-year-old brother, Jakeil Waller, allegedly fired into a crowd, striking Peterson and Reid. Authorities arrested Jernigel on July 28 and Jakeil the next day. The district attorney sought to try Jernigel as an adult, and a judge ordered him transferred to the Madison County Jail pending trial.

A Madison County grand jury indicted both brothers in December 2014. Jakeil Waller’s charges were amended to second-degree murder and aggravated assault; a jury later convicted him of second-degree murder and felony reckless endangerment, and he received an effective 27-year prison sentence. Does anyone have information about the dispute that led to the shooting or knew Shomari?
