James Jimmy Allen Winters Jr. was 31 when he was killed on July 10, 2019, at his workplace, a Big O Tires in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Described as big-hearted and fond of working on cars, Winters was involved in an earlier altercation that day with a co-worker, 20-year-old Bobby Powell. The dispute escalated into a fatal encounter; Powell shot Winters during what has been described as a moment of sudden heat while Winters, reportedly unarmed, was running toward him.

Powell was arrested and initially charged with murder. The charges were later amended; he pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and carrying a handgun without a license within 500 feet of a school. In March 2021 a judge sentenced Powell to 17 and a half years, with all but 10 years suspended, and ordered strict probation for the remainder of the sentence after release.

If anyone knew Jimmy Winters or witnessed the events at the Big O Tires that day, does anyone have additional details to share?
