Jason Chen, the man arrested in the killing of Jasmine “Jazzy” Pace, has been formally indicted, according to Hamilton County District Attorney Coty Wamp.
“Chen was indicted on two counts; first-degree premeditated murder, and abuse of a corpse,” Wamp told the Chattanooga Times Free Press via text Thursday.
Pace was reported missing by family members after they hadn’t heard from her for a few days and she didn’t come home for Thanksgiving.
Pace’s mother, Catrina Pace, tracked Jasmine’s vehicle to a Signal View condominium complex at 900 Mountain Creek Road, according to longtime family friend Bailey Putman.
Catrina Pace met with Chattanooga police officers at 110 Tremont St. after Jasmine Pace shared her location via text message at 2:15 a.m. Nov. 23.
