Jawauntez K. Powell, a 22-year-old male, lost his life on September 10, 2022, following a shooting inside a North Nashville market. The incident occurred at the Corner Mart located at 2600 Clarksville Pike. What began as a seemingly ordinary evening took a fatal turn, leading to the untimely death of Powell.
The investigation into the shooting indicates that Powell was in line to make a purchase when another individual, identified as Treyvon Palmer, 19, initiated physical contact with
him. In a sudden escalation, Palmer allegedly pointed a firearm at Powell. In what appeared to be an act of self-defense, Powell drew his own weapon and fired at Palmer. Palmer then fired multiple shots at Powell, who was fatally wounded and died at the scene.
Following the exchange of gunfire, Palmer fled the store. He later arrived at General Hospital seeking treatment for a gunshot wound he sustained during the altercation. Law enforcement officials announced that a criminal homicide warrant has been obtained for Treyvon Palmer in connection with the fatal shooting of Jawauntez Powell. Palmer was to be taken into custody and booked on the charge following his release from the hospital.
