In the winter of 2016, the life of 18-year-old Jamison Rowan was tragically cut short in his Memphis, Tennessee home. A young man with an entrepreneurial spirit, he was a beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend, known for his optimism and generosity. Rowan was a student at the Excel Center, and on the path to earning his high school diploma, a goal he was determined to achieve.
On the evening of December 5th, a call was made to the police by his sister, reporting that her brother had
been shot and killed inside their residence in the Frayser neighborhood. When officers arrived, they found Jamison Rowan deceased from a gunshot wound. The news of his sudden and violent death sent shockwaves through his family and community, leaving them heartbroken over the loss of a young man with a promising future. In a poignant tribute to his dedication to his education, the Excel Center awarded him his degree posthumously, a moment his mother described as a testament to his understanding of the importance of education.
In the wake of the shooting, the Memphis Police Department began their investigation. Shortly thereafter, a 19-year-old was taken into custody in connection with the death of Jamison Rowan. The individual was subsequently charged with reckless homicide. The circumstances that led to the fatal shooting inside the home were not made public, leaving a void in the narrative of that tragic day.
Years have passed, and the ache of Jamison Rowan's absence is still deeply felt by his family, who continue to honor his memory. His loved ones remember him as a mentor and a cherished family member who brought joy to their lives. While an arrest was made, the final disposition of the case against the person charged in his death has not been widely publicized, leaving the full story of that fateful December day partially untold.
