A late-night visit to a new acquaintance’s apartment in Antioch, Tennessee, ended with the death of 28-year-old Terry Coleman on Thursday, April 2, 2026. The shooting happened just after 12:30 a.m. inside an apartment on Harper Ridge Place after an argument that began in the parking lot escalated. Reports say 23-year-old Jordan Jackson allegedly produced a gun and shot Coleman multiple times in the presence of the woman Coleman was visiting and her children. Coleman died at the scene.

Family members had been on the phone with Coleman before the shooting and became alarmed by apparent pocket dials that captured distressing sounds; his mother, Kim Coleman, went to the apartment complex and discovered her son had been killed. A criminal homicide warrant was issued for Jordan Jackson; authorities located and took him into custody in East Knoxville the same day. Jackson was charged with criminal homicide and tampering with evidence and was booked into the Davidson County Detention Center on a $510,000 bond. Investigators are reviewing witness statements and phone recordings provided by Coleman’s family; no official motive has been released, though reports identify Jackson as the father of the woman’s children.

Does anyone have information about Coleman’s movements that night or who witnessed the altercation in the parking lot?
