In a recent development from Nashville, 19-year-old Jahir Hernandez has been officially charged with the murder of 30-year-old Javier Palafox-Garcia. The tragic event unfolded on a Friday night when Palafox-Garcia’s body was discovered in the street on the 700 block of Patricia Drive shortly after 9 p.m.
The investigation into the incident revealed a premeditated act by Hernandez, who met with Palafox-Garcia with the intent to kill. Hernandez cited retaliation for an alleged sexual assault by Palafox-Garcia four years prior, which was never reported to law enforcement, as his motive. According to Hernandez’s account, the confrontation occurred after Palafox-Garcia entered the front passenger seat of his car at an apartment complex on Thompson Place near Murfreesboro Pike. Hernandez confessed to shooting Palafox-Garcia multiple times before driving to Patricia Drive, where he then expelled the body onto the street and deliberately drove over it.
