Two arrested in Ross murder; gang connection dismissed
By David W. Shelton | July 4, 2007 | 
The grand jury has indicted two people in the shootout that resulted in the accidental death of former Northwest High School basketball coach Willard Ross. The two men were arrested and racked with several charges each. Jovan Preche Dixon, a 27-year-old man who gave an address of 267 Millstone Circle, and Jeremy Andrea Jarvis, a 19-year-old man who listed his address as 211 Oak Street, have both been arrested.
A press release from the Clarksville Police department indicates that both men were arrested “in connection” with the shooting incident that resulted in the death of the beloved high school coach. Ward 2 City Councilwoman Deanna McLaughlin said that the hard work [of the police department] has paid off. “It has been suggested that this incident was gang related,” she said in an email, “It was NOT gang related.”
McLaughlin said she was limited on what she could share but was confident in her statement.
The specific charges are as followed: Dixon was charged with attempted first degree murder, felony murder, reckless endangerment, and unlawfully carrying a deadly weapon. His bond was set at $1.3 Million.
Jarvis was charged with attempted first degree murder, premeditated murder, felony murder, reckless endangerment, and unlawfully carrying a deadly weapon. His bond was set at $1 Million. All further questions have been deferred to the District Attorney’s office.
Ross was working in his fireworks tent in the parking lot of a Wal-Mart in Fort Campbell Boulevard when he was shot. He later died at Gateway Medical Center.
We will provide more information as it surfaces.
