Man Arrested for Last Friday's Murder Outside the Stay Lodge on Antioch Pike January 19, 2022

Keion Jemison, 24, is in custody for last Friday night's murder of Danny Dixon, 30, outside the Stay Lodge on Antioch Pike. TITANS (The Investigative Team Addressing Neighborhood Shootings) detectives arrested Jemison tonight at an apartment complex on E. Webster Street.

Investigation by Homicide Unit Detective Madison Meiss shows that Dixon was sitting behind the wheel in a parked car at the motel when a man (subsequently identified as Jemison) approached from one of the rooms.

They had brief words before Jemison shot Dixon in the leg, striking an artery. Dixon drove to a nearby convenience market from where police were called. Jemison, who had rented a room at the motel, fled in a vehicle.
