FENTRESS COUNTY, Tenn. (WTVF) — The suspect in a fatal shooting in Fentress County is in custody, according to the sheriff.
Authorities said the investigation led to charges against a Jamestown woman in connection with the shooting.
Deputies responded just before 9 a.m. Thursday to the 100 block of Whippoorwill Lane in Jamestown, where they found Samuel Jennings with an apparent gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officials said a female suspect, later identified as Jolina Upchurch, was seen leaving the area. She has now been charged with criminal homicide.
No additional details have been released.
As we honor those who have served our country and made the ultimate sacrifice, it is also heartening to see the military right a wrong. Chris Davis brings us the moving story of a Purple Heart ceremony two decades in the making. It's worth a watch.
A heartfelt thanks to all who bravely serve.
