MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – A case involving a girlfriend allegedly shooting and killing her significant other will go before the courts next month. Assistant District Attorney Trevor Lynch explains what police found when they arrived at the scene... Detectives with the Murfreesboro Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Division arrested 23-year-old Shaquira Brown at the scene, charging her with the fatal shooting of her boyfriend on Sunday, October 13, 2024.

The case will likely be sent to a Grand Jury to determine if there is enough evidence to form probable cause. If probable cause is established, the current charges against Shaquira Brown will remain in place, and additional charges could also be filed...

Brown allegedly killed 27-year-old Jaleel Turner. The shooting occurred around 2:00 p.m. at The Southern Apartments on Lascassas Pike in Murfreesboro.

According to the preliminary investigation, Turner was shot once inside the apartment after an argument with Brown. Shortly afterward, a person in a nearby apartment called police to report hearing gunfire. Responding officers located Brown inside the residence, along with Turner, who had suffered a single gunshot wound to the abdomen.

When police arrived, Turner was non-responsive. While Brown was being questioned at the scene, Turner was transported to the hospital, where he later died. Following questioning, Brown was taken into custody.

Since her arrest on October 13, 2024, Brown has remained held at the Rutherford County Adult Detention Center on a $750,000 bond.

Lynch told WGNS that the case is continuing to move through the system and that a hearing has been scheduled for December 2, 2025, in Rutherford County General Sessions Court.
