In the early evening of June 5, 2019, a dispute in the parking lot of a Longhorn Steakhouse on Wilma Rudolph Boulevard in Clarksville, Tennessee, ended in gunfire, leaving two men dead. One of the victims was James 'Jimbo' Ramsey, a 37-year-old male. The other man killed was 53-year-old John Allgood. Both men succumbed to their injuries following the altercation.
The Clarksville Police Department began an intensive investigation, interviewing witnesses and processing evidence from the scene. Their efforts led to a breakthrough in May of 2020 when two suspects, Zachary Tablack and Jackie Davis, were arrested. A Montgomery County Grand Jury indicted both men on two counts of first-degree premeditated murder and one count of reckless endangerment with the use of a deadly weapon. The investigation suggested the shooting stemmed from a prior dispute. Police also indicated that further arrests were possible as they continued to piece together the events of that fatal evening.
Ultimately, a third person, Michael Clarence Craft, was also charged in connection with the killings. The legal process moved forward, and instead of a trial for first-degree murder, the three defendants reached a resolution. Zachary Tablack, Jackie Davis, and Michael Craft all pleaded guilty to two lesser counts of voluntary manslaughter. Following their pleas, each man was sentenced to six years of incarceration, with the terms to be served concurrently. Later, both Davis and Tablack appealed the court's decision, seeking probation and judicial diversion, but their request was denied, and the sentences were affirmed.
