Michael Hutchins, 29, died after suffering a gunshot wound to the abdomen following what he described as a home invasion on Jefferson Street in Nashville, next to Paul’s Market. He was able to speak with investigators while initially alert at a local hospital after being dropped off there by unknown means. Hutchins told police a person wearing a ski mask entered his residence, robbed him and then shots were fired.

He was transferred to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for advanced care but later died from his injuries. The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department Homicide Unit is investigating and has asked the public for help. A cash reward is being offered for tips that lead to the identification and arrest of the person or persons responsible; callers can remain anonymous. No suspects or arrests have been publicly announced.

If anyone saw activity on Jefferson Street that night or has information about who may have worn a ski mask and targeted that home, please share what is known with investigators.
