On April 9, 2026, 26-year-old Hannah Jackson was found dead in her Tinnell Court home in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Deputies say the investigation began after 27-year-old David Ivy contacted family and was later located by the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office at a different address; during that encounter he reportedly threatened self-harm and was identified as Jackson’s boyfriend. A Murfreesboro Police welfare check at Jackson’s residence led to the discovery of her body.

Family members said Jackson, a mother of four, had recently moved to leave an abusive relationship and that two of her young children, ages 20 months and 4 years, were in the house during the incident. Investigators allege Ivy gained entry using an unauthorized door code and shot Jackson multiple times. Ivy was taken into custody and charged with first-degree homicide, unlawful possession of a weapon while committing a dangerous felony, and especially aggravated burglary; he is being held on a $700,000 bond with a General Sessions hearing set for June 22. The Murfreesboro Police Violent Crimes Unit is leading the ongoing investigation with help from the Sheriff’s Office.

If anyone knew Hannah, her movements that day, or has information about the door code or the entry, contact investigators.
