MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WTVF) — Murfreesboro Police are investigating the death of Hannah Jackson, 26, who was found at a home on Tinnell Court after Rutherford County deputies arrested David Ivy, 27, at a separate residence on Steelson Court.
According to the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded after Ivy told family members he had been involved in a domestic incident.
Deputies located Ivy around 10:15 a.m. Thursday at a home on Steelson Court, where officials said he was threatening to take his own life. He was taken into custody.
During the investigation, deputies learned the man’s girlfriend lived on Tinnell Court. Deputies and Murfreesboro Police officers responded to that home and found Jackson dead.
Ivy was arrested 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 at the Rutherford County Adult Detention Center. A hearing is scheduled for June 22 in General Sessions Court.
The Murfreesboro Police Violent Crimes Unit is leading the investigation with assistance from the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office.
“This was a deeply tragic situation between two individuals who had a personal relationship,” Public Safety Information Director Larry Flowers said. “These cases are always difficult, and our investigators are committed to finding the facts while being mindful of the families grieving during this difficult time.”
The investigation remains ongoing.
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.
