How they died
Pursuit
Kevonte Jernigan was killed after a crash following a police chase. At around 2 a.m. police said they intervened during an alleged burglary attempt at the Smyrna Pawn and Gun store when the suspects tried to use a Ford pickup truck to crash through the store's front door. They weren't successful, and the Ford fled when an officer tried to stop them. The officer chased the truck up Rock Springs Road for about half a mile before police deployed spike strips. The pickup lost control and crashed into a telephone pole and tree. Jernigan died at a nearby hospital. Two juveniles were injured. Three other people fled the scene and weren't yet found at publication.
