White Pine, TN (WOKI) An arrest has been made nearly one year following a deadly road rage shooting in White Pine.
Police say in September of last year they responded to a shooting incident on Roy Messer Highway. That shooting left 20-year-old Jordan Price dead.
The suspect, 59-year-old Derwin Wilds of Newport, was arrested late Thursday night after a comprehensive investigation.
A Jefferson County Grand Jury indicted Wilds on four separate counts in connection to the fatal 2024 shooting.
“This was a tragic and senseless act of violence. I am grateful for the dedication and persistence of our investigators and partner agencies in bringing this case to a point where charges could be secured,” said Chief Cotter. – White Pine Police Chief Chad Cotter
Officers arrested Wilds on charges of Voluntary Manslaughter, Employing a Firearm During the Commission of a Dangerous Felony, Aggravated Assault Resulting in Death, and Aggravated Assault Involving a Deadly Weapon Discharged from a Motor Vehicle. He was transported to the Jefferson County Jail.
