Third 16-Year-Old Charged in Madison Ambush Shooting

NASHVILLE, TN — A third 16-year-old boy has been charged with murder in Saturday's broad daylight ambush shooting in Madison that killed one man and critically injured the son of a Metro school board member.

Metro Police arrested Jevon Wilson, 16, Wednesday night on charges of criminal homicide and especially aggravated robbery in connection with what police believe was a set-up robbery that led to the shooting death of Javonte Robinson, 18. Another man, Roy Hunter, the 20-year-old son of school board member Tyese Hunter, is in critical condition at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

Police arrested two other 16-year-olds, Terrance Rainey and Byron Berkley, on Monday. They too are charged with criminal homicide and especially aggravated robbery

A witness told investigators that Roy Hunter was sitting in the driver's seat of a car in a parking lot on the 1000 block of North Dupont Avenue Saturday afternoon, talking with Javonte Robinson, sitting in the passenger seat, and a third person sitting in the backseat. As that third person left the car and walked into a breezeway of a nearby apartment complex, two other people walked up to the car and began shooting.

The shooters then pulled Hunter and Robinson from the black Infinity and drove off. The car was found abandoned on nearby Rio Vista Drive.

All three teenagers are being held in juvenile detention.
