A dispute at a Nashville gas station ended in fatal violence on the morning of August 31, 2022. Kendrick Eugene Frazier, 25, and a 48-year-old man identified as Melvin Waters reportedly exchanged words at the pumps of Paul’s Market on Jefferson Street; that verbal altercation escalated and Waters allegedly fired on Frazier. Despite being wounded in the chest, Frazier drove himself to General Hospital and was later transferred to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he died of his injuries.

Both men had left the scene before officers arrived. On September 6, 2022, Melvin Waters turned himself in at Metro Nashville Police Department headquarters, admitted involvement in the shooting, and was arrested and charged with criminal homicide.

Did anyone in the Nashville area witness the confrontation at Paul’s Market or have information about what led up to it?
