In a story we first reported, On July 24, 2024, Coffee County Sheriff deputies were dispatched to 222 Shiloh Road, Beechgrove, Tennessee, regarding a male subject who had been shot in the neck inside Lakewood Park.
Upon arrival at the scene, the victim was identified as Thomas Anthony Randolph, age 37, of Beechgrove, Tennessee.
Randolph was deceased from the gunshot wound to his neck. Through the investigation, which included the assistance of the TBI crime scene technicians evaluating the crime scene to help determine the direction of travel of the bullets fired, it was discovered that Randolph was shot while a passenger in a vehicle driving away from 277 Atlanta Drive, Beechgrove, Tennessee, and was driven the short distance to the Shiloh Road residence.
It was further determined that Phillip Lee Meadows, age 40, of Beechgrove, Tennessee, shot at Randolph and the vehicle in which he was a passenger several times, with at least one shot striking and killing Randolph.
Meadows further took steps prior to law enforcement arriving to hide the gun used and other evidence in the case.
Meadows has been charged with First Degree Murder, Aggravated Assault, and Tampering with Evidence. Meadows is scheduled to appear in Coffee County General Sessions Court on Monday, July 29, 2024, at 9 AM.
