Jermaine CoJack Norment, 43, was shot and killed on the night of January 25, 2025, at a Shell gas station off US-64 in Whiteville, Tennessee. Surveillance video shows Norment and 29-year-old Montavis Money Moe Moore arguing at separate pumps around 11:30 p.m. As Norment turned to walk toward the station entrance, he paused and continued the verbal exchange; Moore then reportedly drew a pistol and fired one shot that struck Norment in the chest. Norment collapsed at the front door and was taken to Bolivar ER, where he was pronounced dead.

Whiteville police identified Moore quickly, citing clear surveillance footage and locating a vehicle at his residence that matched the one seen at the scene. Chief Ben Davis credited community cooperation in Moore’s apprehension. Moore was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, unlawful possession of a firearm during a dangerous felony, and reckless endangerment. Officials said both Norment and Moore had gang affiliations, but investigators had not determined whether the shooting was motivated by gang activity.

Norment is remembered by family and neighbors as outgoing, funny, and devoted to his children. The killing has left the Whiteville community mourning. If anyone has information about the events at the Shell station that night or about either man’s activities in the area, please come forward.
