Washington Man To Stand Trial In Jollick Manor Shooting

A Washington man will face a homicide charge for his alleged role in the killing of 19 year old Antonio Martinez of Clarksville, Tennessee in a July shooting that occurred at Jollick Manor. Jamil Carr, 23 faced his preliminary hearing on Wednesday where testimony tied him directly to the shooting of Martinez. Glendale Smith, currently detained in a state prison, testified that he saw Martinez and Carr in an argument that escalated into a fight. Smith said Martinez got the better of Carr and when Carr arose from the ground he fired several shots from a semi-automatic handgun striking Martinez. According to the criminal complaint, Washington Police arrived to find Martinez struggling to breathe. He was transported to Washington Hospital where he died. In addition to the homicide charge, Carr faces a possession of a firearm prohibited charge related to a 2018 aggravated assault guilty plea that forbids him from having a gun. All charges were held for court. Formal arraignment has yet to be scheduled.
