Bakari Banks, 27, was booked at Sumner County Jail on September 25, 2026, according to the Sumner County Sheriff’s Office’s public inmate feed. The entry lists attempted first-degree murder and two entries for reckless endangerment committed with a deadly weapon.

The source labels the charges “250768 - ATT-FIRST DEGREE MURDER,” “250769 - Reckless Endangerment committed with deadly weapon,” and “250770 - Reckless Endangerment committed with deadly weapon.” Those numeric prefixes are part of the published descriptions; the feed does not identify them as statutes or court docket numbers. It publishes no exact statutory citation for any of the three entries.

The feed displays a bond value of $1,200,000 alongside each charge. Because it does not explain whether those values overlap or represent separate obligations, this report does not add them together or characterize them as a court-verified total bond.

As general legal context, Tennessee Code § 39-12-101 addresses criminal attempt. The provision reproduced by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation describes intentional action toward committing an offense, including a substantial step toward completing it when the person’s course of conduct supports that intent. This explains the general attempt component of the listed attempted-murder allegation; it does not establish the charging theory or statutory elements asserted against Banks.

For the two reckless-endangerment entries, Tennessee Code § 39-13-103 addresses reckless conduct creating imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury. A February 7, 2026, Tennessee General Assembly fiscal note describes that existing law and identifies its deadly-weapon provision as a Class E felony. This is general legal context drawn from the note’s discussion of existing law, separate from the new offense proposed in that bill. The statute has other classifications, and this report does not assign an unverified subsection or sentencing exposure to Banks.

No disposition is recorded in the booking entry. The listed charges are allegations, and Banks is presumed innocent unless and until convicted.
