On the evening of June 24, 2022, a vehicle crashed into a house and caught fire on South Somerville Street in Somerville, Tennessee. After firefighters extinguished the blaze, 37-year-old Nakita Anderson and another person, Darius Springfield, were found dead inside the charred car. Investigators determined neither death was caused by the crash or the fire; both victims had sustained gunshot wounds, and the case was treated as a double homicide.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation assisted the Somerville Police Department in the inquiry. By July 2023, a Fayette County grand jury returned indictments charging Kentavious Taylor and Brandon Auston with two counts of first-degree premeditated murder, vandalism, and felony reckless endangerment; both were booked into the Fayette County Jail on bond.

Does anyone have information about Nakita Anderson’s movements or contacts in Somerville around June 24, 2022?
