A pre-dawn confrontation in a downtown Johnson City, Tennessee parking lot turned deadly in March 2014. A large disturbance on Cherry Street escalated into a shootout; when the gunfire stopped DeShaun Wesley Greer was dead and another man, Jamison Lewis, had been wounded. Two other people, Zachary Breedlove and Jonathan McInturff, were also injured in the violence.

Johnson City Police arrested Jamarcus Lavelle Jackson and charged him with second-degree murder in Greer’s death. Jackson was also charged with attempted second-degree murder for the shooting of Jamison Lewis, aggravated assault for the shooting of Breedlove, and reckless endangerment for the shooting of McInturff. Because of prior felony convictions in Tennessee, he faced unlawful possession of a weapon by a convicted felon; officers also charged him with simple possession after marijuana was found when he was taken into custody. Bond was set at $200,000 and an arraignment was scheduled in Washington County General Sessions Court. The investigation remained ongoing.

If anyone witnessed the shooting on Cherry Street or has information about that March morning, please come forward.
