MNPD officers were called to the Edgehill Apartments on Deford Bailey Avenue on Friday after midnight. They arrived to find 41-year-old Jamex Cox III suffering from multiple gunshot wounds on the ground outside the building. He was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where was pronounced dead.
Another man, identified as 34-year-old Ronald Russell Jr., showed up at Vanderbilt with a minor gunshot wound shortly after. MNPD said he was driven there by his mother who told officers that he suffers from schizophrenia. She also said her son believed Cox cut off his sister’s leg, which the investigation found to be untrue, according to MNPD.
Russell told detectives that attempted to stab Cox in the neck with a kitchen knife after he spotted him outside his sister’s apartment. After he failed to do so, the two began wrestling on the ground and two guns fell from Cox’s person, according to MNPD’s report. Russell said he grabbed one of the guns and shot Cox multiple times, then threw the gun into a nearby field. Russell said Cox also fired at him, which resulted in his wound.
