Police identified the pregnant mother as Sierra Wilson Cahoon, 30, and her son as 2-year-old Nolan. They were the wife and son of Matt Cahoon, an assistant athletic trainer at Carson-Newman University, a Christian school that sits less than a quarter-mile from where the crash occurred.
Investigators believe Phillips hopped behind the wheel of a Chevrolet Impala and drove west down East Main Street around 3:30 p.m. Monday, twice swerving onto the sidewalk to intentionally hit pedestrians, according to Jefferson City Police Department Capt. Darrell Turley.
Phillips first hit Tillman Gunter, 61, who was taken to a local hospital with injuries that didn't appear to be life-threatening.
Phillips then traveled less than a mile to the intersection of Russell Avenue and West Main Street, where he swerved to fatally strike Sierra and Nolan Cahoon, police said in a news release.
"The preliminary investigation has revealed that this was an intentional act of violence toward randomly chosen pedestrians," the release reads. "Investigators have determined that Phillips did not know the victims."
Phillips told authorities "a voice told him he needed to go kill meth addicts so he began driving very fast," arrest warrants state. "He said the voice told him that the baby stroller had meth in it so he intentionally drove into (the mother and child) ... killing them both."

Society needs to return to the days of forced treatment for the mentally ill and drug addicts.
Too bad it was mostly filled with empty space.
"He liked Bernie Sanders and Barack Obama’s pages on Facebook."
I remember reading about mass shooters and the writer noted that a lot of them had faces that demonstrated they were crazy. This is a case in point.
Probably liberal version of car jihad.
That's the biggest understatement of the past four decades. When will The Normals take control of society again and re-exert common sense? Why isn't locking up The Crazies even a legitimate topic of discussion? There's a reason so many of our cities have become third world shitholes.
He could be the separated-at-birth twin of the actor who played Jesse Pinkman in Breaking Bad.
Ironically, the character is a meth dealer.

I like the Viking treatment better. Just throw them from a cliff.
Sick mother——er!! Run him over with a steamroller...
Too merciful... They need to draw & quarter him publicly... Preferably over a period of 3-4 days...
Looks like a great family.
Summary execution and toss the body in a landfill.
This woman was pregnant, right? Three murders?!?!?!?
Hope he has a lot of remaining family and good friends to support him through this unbelievable nightmare.
Amphetamines are legal, just go get an addy script.
The employees brought suit and Federal court found that if the state involuntarily confined someone not for a crime but for illness, that person had a constitutional right to treatment that would or could be reasonably expected to result in some improvement and eventual discharge.. The costs of changes laid out by the court to achieve compliance were prohibitive to the state; so they simply discharged hordes of patients into the street.
The case is known as Wyatt v Stickney 1971 and is a landmark decision that wound its way through the appellate system for the next 30 years.
The decision is correct. You can’t just deprive an innocent but sick person of his rights simply for the convenience of the state.
This issue of the Blaylock report quoted a study that said that if ALL marijuana use was stopped, that 13% of the schizophrenia cases would occur.
The issue goes on to quote medical studies that show mj use before the age of age 17/27 causes permanent damage that leads to mental illness whether use is continued or not.
The crap the liberals use to justify legalizing pot will lead to lasting problems with future generations.
there is a study to state anything anyone wants.
I wasn’t born yesterday. I have witnessed a lot in my life. From many angles. Blaming someone’s crimes, psychological problems, or any other troubles on marijuana is a complete misrepresentation. A lie meant to control and propagate your decision making. Just like blaming crimes on guns.
Take him out and kill him. The law is not going to do anything.
Good one Impala...
