Episode 146 Kendrick Jerry

Kendrick Jerry was a man who had a troubled past, but was working to turn his life around. He was focusing on family. The 47 year old father of five sons was excited to find out he had a sixth child on the way; a daughter with his fiancé Arin. Arin was due in October, 2023, but sadly, Kendrick would never see his daughter born. On June 25,2023, Kendrick was shot to death in front of witnesses following an altercation at a Chevron gas station in Columbia County, Florida.  

The shooter, Michael Smith, was questioned by police at the scene and then released without being charged. The lack of an arrest was shocking to Kendrick's grief stricken family. They reached out to various officials, including the governor in an effort to see Michael Smith charged in Kendrick's case. Eventually, a grand jury indicted Smith, and he was arrested and charged with manslaughter, and for using a gun with the serial number filed off of it. Smith posted bail, and was released to await trial. But Kendrick's family feels that there is more than meets the eye here, and that the encounter between Smith and Kendrick was not random. It turns out, Smith was the ex boyfriend of Kendrick's fiancé,  Arin. Arin had alleged that she left him following an abusive relationship, and that she received texts from Michael Smith that threatened both her, and Kendrick. Is this a case of planned or pre-meditated murder? Kendrick's family thinks it may be, and they are seeking justice. In this episode, Kendrick's sister Miranda discusses this frustrating case.
