Sixteen-year-old Jawaun Cleo Jones was killed after an altercation on Antioch Pike in Nashville just after 11 p.m. on July 6, 2024. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Homicide detectives reviewed surveillance footage and sought a person of interest seen hopping a business fence. On August 7, 2024, patrol officers recognized a man on Antioch Pike as that person of interest. He was identified as 29-year-old Misael Garcia, who admitted involvement and said he shot Jones in self-defense. Garcia was arrested and charged with evidence tampering after admitting to discarding the pistol; the self-defense claim is under investigation.

Did anyone in the Antioch Pike area see the confrontation that night or recognize the person seen on the footage?
