Brodie R. Wilkinson III, 22, of Springfield, Tennessee, was killed on the afternoon of October 6, 2018 after confronting three people who were trespassing and swimming on his family’s farm near Highway 76 and Possum Trot Road. Concerned for his safety, he drove away to call 911 and arranged to meet officers on Gum Station Road. While driving to that meeting point he recorded the encounter as the trespassers followed in a white Dodge Charger. The video shows two men exiting the Charger, one apparently armed, and a single gunshot is heard. Wilkinson was struck by the gunfire and his truck crashed; first responders at the scene initially treated it as a single-vehicle accident before determining he had been shot.
Within 24 hours three people were arrested in connection with the shooting: Daniel Blake Scott, then 28, Darick A. Hinerman, 26, and Jennifer Henning, 23. They were charged with criminal homicide and later indicted by a Robertson County grand jury on first-degree murder, the indictment finding the killing premeditated.
Does anyone have additional information about Wilkinson’s movements that afternoon or about witnesses who were near Gum Station Road?
