Paul Jenkins, a 71-year-old pastor from Rives, Tennessee, was found dead in his home from a gunshot wound on the afternoon of September 16, 2025. Deputies discovered Paul Jenkins’ body and took his 68-year-old wife into custody without resistance.

Family members have since said there were domestic problems in the marriage, although no prior reports to law enforcement were recorded. Gloria Ann Jenkins was charged with first-degree murder and arraigned on September 17, 2025. She was later released on a property bond with conditions of house arrest and GPS monitoring, and the case was waived to the grand jury by early December 2025.

What information might clarify the circumstances in the hours before the shooting, or does anyone in Rives have relevant details to share?
