On November 5, 2017, Jason Webb Spencer was killed a few days after his wedding. Jason and his bride had just returned from their honeymoon and were taking a walk when Travon Curry, Thaddius Thomas, Demond Malone, and an unnamed 13-year-old attempted to rob them. When Jason resisted, Travon shot the 30-year-old. Speaking with investigators after the shooting, the boy called Jason a "white fart" and said "I'm glad I killed that motherfucker... If I get out of here, I'm going to kill some other white motherfuckers." Defense attorneys argued that these statements should be struck from the record, because Travon was on fentanyl and other drugs at the time.
According to Jason's mother, if his teenage attackers had asked for money, he would have helped them. Jason "never could handle money. I always wondered what happened to it. I found out at the visitation... Person after person told us how Jason gave them money or gifts when they were down and out."
