State prison inmate James T. Manning, 48, today was brought to Nashville and booked on a first-degree murder indictment charging him with the fatal shooting 25 years ago of Jacques D. Smith, 19, inside Smith’s home on Little Hamilton Street. Smith died from multiple gunshot wounds to the head.
Investigation by Homicide-Cold Case Detective Mike Roland led to the indictment of Manning, who is serving time at the Trousdale Turner Correctional Center for an aggravated rape conviction in the late 1990s.
Smith was found dead on the afternoon of June 11, 1996. Robbery may have been the motive.
