Christopher Chris Goodale, 43, was found dead from a single gunshot wound to the chest in the parking lot of a Marathon gas station on West Trinity Lane in Nashville on September 5, 2022. He died at the scene. Family describe him as a loving, protective father who enjoyed fishing and spending time with his daughter.

Investigators developed the case over many months. In February 2024 officers arrested 42-year-old Jermaine Jenkins on an outstanding warrant charging him with Goodale’s murder; Jenkins was located on Hampton Street and jailed on a criminal homicide charge with bond set at $500,000. Two others were later charged in connection with the getaway car: vehicle owner William Henderson III, 38, and driver Stephanie Raymer, 41, were charged with accessory after the fact and evidence tampering. The shooting is believed to have arisen from a dispute between Jenkins and Goodale.

Anyone who knew Goodale, saw activity around the West Trinity Lane Marathon that night, or has information about the dispute is asked to come forward.
