Miles Benjamin Slay, 24, was fatally shot while on foot at the intersection of Charlotte Pike and 40th Avenue North in Nashville on June 24, 2022. The attack occurred about 10:40 p.m. when multiple rounds were fired from the passenger side of an SUV; the vehicle then fled by turning onto 39th Avenue North. A witness rendered aid until emergency crews arrived and Slay was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he died shortly after arrival.

Metro Nashville Police Department homicide detectives called the killing senseless and described it as targeted. Investigators said they were working active leads, but police also reported receiving no tips identifying anyone involved. Slay’s family publicly urged an end to gun violence and asked for information; callers were told they could remain anonymous and might be eligible for a cash reward.

Are there any readers who were in the area that night or who have information that could help investigators?
