Jillian never came back from that walk.
A stray bullet, fired blocks away during an unrelated shooting, struck her in the head. She wasn’t discovered for nearly an hour. By the time she reached the hospital, her condition was described as “extremely critical.” Overnight, the news no family should ever hear was delivered: Jillian was gone.
Her death sent shockwaves across Tennessee in 2023, when this happened.
Not only for its senselessness, but because of who pulled the trigger and how he was free in the first place.
