Authorities in Murfreesboro have identified both the victim and the suspect in a fatal case that unfolded earlier this week at a home on Tinnell Court, according to the Murfreesboro Police Department.
Police say the victim is 26-year-old Hannah Jackson of Murfreesboro. Investigators also confirmed the arrest of 27-year-old David Ivy, who has been charged in connection with her death.
Ivy faces charges including first-degree homicide, unlawful possession of a weapon while committing a dangerous felony, and especially aggravated burglary. He is being held on a $700,000 bond at the Rutherford County Adult Detention Center. A court hearing is scheduled for June 22 in General Sessions Court.
The case began on April 9 when Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a call involving a man who reportedly said he had been involved in a domestic incident. Deputies later located him at a home on Steelson Court, where he was taken into custody after being found threatening self-harm.
During the investigation, authorities learned that the man’s girlfriend lived at a nearby residence on Tinnell Court. Deputies and Murfreesboro police then responded to that home and discovered a woman deceased inside.
The Murfreesboro Police Violent Crimes Unit continues to investigate the case with assistance from the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office.
